What classes should I take?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Ok so I am currently a sophmore in high school. I hope to go to college and major in computer science. I don't know what exactly I want to do in computer science, but that the general area I want to do. So I'm in the second semester right now and I'm taking Computer Systems I, Spanish 2, English 10 T/A, and AP Biology/Chem. Last semester I took Algerbra 2 T/A, PE/ Drivers Ed, World History 2 T/A, and of course Ap Biology/Chem since it is year long. </p>

<p>I had a A in Math because it comes easy to me. It almost seemed to easy because I felt once you learned one thing, it kinda showed you how to do everything else. AP Biology is the first AP course I've taken and I must say it is ALOT of memorization and reading. It really hasn't been my favorite class, because of what I'm learning is so boring. But the teacher is great and the people I am with are great. Now the chemistry is in the same class as AP Bio. We alternate days with each subject. I maintain a C in Bio and a B or A in Chem. I could have a higher grade in Bio if pushed my self to actually study more. I also forgot to mention that I LOVE Chemistry. I think I will do fine on the SOL for it. </p>

<p>So now for the question. It is close to time to choose classes for next year and I need some input. Like I said before I want to major in Computer Science. These are the possibilities of classes I can take next year.</p>

<p>Math: AP Computer Science and Honors Math Anaylsis
or AP Statistics/ Math Anaylsis</p>

<p>Science: AP Chemistry or Physics or AP Enviromental Science</p>

<p>English: AP English Language and Composition or English 11 T/A</p>

<p>And I plan to take Computer Systems 2 next year and Networking Essentials my Senior year.</p>

<p>I would really like your input on what I should do my Junior year of High School. Let me know about your experiences in the classes if you have taken them and anything else you think would be helpfull!!! Thanks!!!</p>

<p>Math: You say you love computer science, go with the first two.
Science: You love chem, go with AP Chem. Plus it would boost your GPA more than physics
English: Idk what kind of english student you are. if you want the good GPA, go AP. If you want something easier, I guess go english 11. What is T/a?</p>

<p>At our school we have two levels of classes, CT and TA. CT are the lowest classes. TA are classes for smarter students. I am, I guess average in English. Its not my favorite subject but I maintain a A or B in normal classes. Have you taking any of the ap classes and do you like them?</p>

<p>My school only offers four…lol
I am in Bio right now. I do well, but I find it boring (I’m a physics/chemistry person)
I’m in honors english 11 (well, the equivalent) and it is essentially worthless. But, I’m taking AP next year.<br>
I would take English 11 TA though, in your situation. Just remember, junior year is the most important for college admissions. So don’t go too hard and burn out, yet don’t go too easy and look unmotivated.</p>
