<p>It's said that junior year is your most important year for colleges, a point certainly not hammered in by my somewhat incompetent counselors. So what is a good schedule for junior year. </p>
<p>My plan is </p>
<p>Adv. French 3
Adv. Physics
AP English Composition
AP US History
Dual Credit (with local university) Humanities (Humanities class is a state requirement)
Hon. Pre-Cal. </p>
<p>Good schedule? Will it be to painful, based of people's experiences?</p>
<p>I like it. Don't be stuck in 6 APs like me and slack off..</p>
<p>I think 2 will be good, but the difference here is that I took Pre-Calc in my Freshmen year. But, again, it's a decent schedule and you'll be good to go! Enjoy it, bud!</p>
<p>Well according to you, all you need is a 3.0!</p>
<p>My D just did her junior schedule: APUSH, AP Lang, H pre-calc, H physics, AP Chem, and AP Art History (the AP chem and AP art history are her electives, as we don't have many electives to choose from that aren't P.E., Voc-Ed, or fine arts.) Her H chem teacher tried to push her to skip the H physics and go straight to the AP physics. D says she's not totally crazy.</p>

<p>No, I didn't say that. I said if you got a 3.0 for one semester, had had a 4.0 before that, and still had a cumulative GPA of 3.7, your life was not over, especially if you aren't applying to HYP. </p>
<p>I apologize if what I said wasn't clear to you, but other people understood.</p>
<p>It depends totally on your school. Is that a tough courseload for your school? If so, then it is fine. If not, consider bumping it up a notch--but don't think that you have to be in all AP's to be competitive. It's not true--every school is different. This was the "typical" (if you want to call it that) most demanding junior year schedule for my school, and is what I took: </p>
<p>Hon. Physics
German III (no honors/adv. foreign language until AP)
AP US
AP BC Calc (or Hon. Precalc for less math orientated kids)
AP English Language
[an elective...band in my case]</p>
<p>A few kids took 4 AP's, but that is not necessary at my school to be considered a most demading schedule.</p>
