What Should I Do?

Applying to College
1

<p>I got called into guidance today and found out that there is a major problem with my senior year schedule. The original one I picked out was</p>

<p>AP Lit
AP Gov
AP World
AP Stats
APUSH
Spanish 5
Economics
Calc
Health/Gym</p>

<p>This was honestly my perfect schedule since it had no science (I'm not a science person), however, it turns out that there's a conflict in my schedule between Spanish 5, AP Gov, and Calc. I can take two of them, but not all three. I'm applying to colleges as a political science major so I really really want to take AP Gov. However, practically the same course is offered at my local county college and I could take that twice a week in the evening. Dropping calculus is essentially not an option because my parents would kill me because they want me to think about business. So it comes down to a battle between Spanish 5 and AP Gov. The Spanish 5 teacher is truly awful, I had him for Spanish 3 and it was the only B I got last year because the teacher was such a jerk (I'm not just being irrational, he really was). Also, no matter what, the only science I can pick up is Anatomy and Physiology which is the only science class that fits into my schedule. I have absolutely no interest in Anatomy though which sucks because I have to pick up something or else colleges will think that not taking a science or a language is just because I was slacking off. Please help me! What would you do in this situation?</p>

<p>This seems easy to me…ditch the Spanish class with the terrible teacher.</p>

<p>drop the spanish . Is there another senior level non AP class you could take instead of Anatomy? I personally think more than 4 AP’s is too much. Remember, applying to college can be a part time job all by itself - deciding where to apply, writing and rewriting your essays, asking teachers for recommendation letters, and then followig through to make sure all documents have actually been submitted on time, etc, on top of school, homework and EC’s can make for a very hectic semester.</p>
