I am currently planning out my high school schedule, and it seems that the only way I can take all the AP classes I want to take is that I will finish all AP math classes by my junior year. Many has told me that it is not okay to not take a math class your senior year, but
a) I have no room as I have other APs to take
b) If I did switch it so that I have Stats to be senior year, I would have 5 AP classes a year, which I do not want.
My aim is at schools such as UChicago, the Ivies, Stanford, those schools. Would not having a math course senior year but having taken all AP math okay?
Schedule:
Sophomore:
Eng II Honors
World History AP
Biology
AP Stats
AP Calc AB
French I
Junior:
Eng III AP
US History AP
AP Calc BC
AP Comp Sci
Chem Honors
French II
Senior:
English IV AP
AP Senior History (I have yet to choose from the choices)
AP Chem
AP Bio
Art III
French III
Even if you’re not going to be a STEM major, it is very recommended by colleges that you take at least a year of bio, chem, and physics each, even if it is regular level. I strongly recommend taking out either AP Biology or AP Chemistry and replacing it with Regular/Honors/AP Physics. However, it’s up to you.
In terms of math, because you reached AP Calc BC, you should be fine.
If you’re aiming for top 25 universities/ LACs, you need a physics class (honors, regular, or AP physics1).
Don’t take both AP Bio and AP chem the same year as those are very time intensive.
The fact you only reach French 3 will be a bit low (they generally expect level 4/AP).
How would you be able to take advanced art without the intro levels?
What’s your math path? Are you in precalculus honors this year?
Is there a community college nearby where you could take linear algebra, discrete math, college statistics as a senior math?
What classes did you take this year if you took neither biology nor foreign language?
Does your school offer math classes beyond calculus? My daughter finished AP math Junior year and then took an advanced math seminar senior year. Alternatively, move AP Stats to Senior Year, take Physics or AP CS instead…
But, keep in mind, as someone else said, your schedule looks punishing. It will be tough to get good grades while also doing an EC or two.
