<li>Physics </li>
<li>???<br>
choose from:
Pre-calc/Zoology/Sociology/French 1/Spanish 1/ Ceramics/Intro to Film Study/Commercial Art</li>
</ol>

<p>What would look better?
I really have no preference, and I have to decide by this Friday. </p>

<p>I transferred out of precalc this year, it seemed like too much work. Now after having taken trigonometry for a year, I think Pre Calc should be a lot easier? But my school does not offer that many honors/ap classes, so maybe I should just take an ‘easier’ class.</p>

<p>One of my friends is taking Sociology and she really loves it. That’s probably what I would take as well.</p>

3

<p>I really liked doing Ceramics in Art. If you’re on the creative side and don’t mind getting your hands dirty with mud, it’s a lot of fun. Assuming that the teacher at your school is not terribly obnoxious, I think it will be an enjoyable experience. Best of all - very little homework (:</p>

<p>Intro to Film Studies!</p>

5

<p>Sociology, my friend is also in it and he says that the projects that they’re assigned are pretty interesting. For one of the projects he had to “break a social norm” for a certain period of time and observe peoples reactions, one kid drew a fake mustache on himself and walked around all week pretending it was nothing. Every school is different though so ask someone who has already taken it at your school. Good Luck =)</p>

<p>Intro to film study probably won’t be like what you think. It’ll be old movies, or no movies at all, ironically. In mine, we watched Spartacus and Anne of the Thousand Days the whole semester… </p>

<p>I think it’s sorta late to start a foreign language.</p>

<p>Take either art if you like art. </p>

<p>But I’d say sociology.</p>

7

<p>Pre-Calc looks, by far, the best on your transcript unless you’re applying to some special art program or zoological field.</p>

8

<p>pre-calc would be useful</p>

<p>intro to film looks really interesting and fun</p>

<p>Ceramics is what i’m taking as a senior year elective(but it was like the only good thing left).</p>

9

<p>uhm it really depends on what you want:</p>

<p>zoology - sounds interesting, esp. if you’re into bio, but may be a lot of work
french/spanish - i personally love languages…
ceramics - i’m taking ceramics right now and i love it! very therapeutic.
intro to film studies - sounds interesting, fun, easy.</p>

<p>It’s unusual to take statistics without ever having taken pre-calc, as statistics is frequently an alternative last high school math course to calculus. You might want to review some of the requirements of your prospective colleges to see if their preferred math coverage (typically 3-4 years, to include pre-calc) would be satisfied by a sequence which includes statistics but not pre-calc.</p>

11

<p>I would take sociology</p>

12

<p>Don’t do Spanish. It’s too late, you’d only be learning colors, numbers, and weather.</p>

<p>Do whatever you think would be the most fun. Or pre-calc… depending on your college… I second what Caleno said.</p>

13

<p>My school has students take pre-calculus simultaneously with stats. So you can do both without any problem (I think. Depends on your school’s stat class.)</p>

14

<p>You should take an off period.</p>

15

<p>You really need pre-calc with physics. I would either take pre-calc instead of statistics and take film or take pre-calc with statistics.</p>

16

<p>You need some ridiculously chillax class</p>

<p>You are a senior</p>

<p>You shouldn’t have that hard of a courseload</p>
