Which APs should I take next year

<p>I went to a really small, really poor public school for three years. Since I skipped a grade, I had only just turned 16 near the end of my junior year. I recently moved to a new, much better school with tons more course offerings. At my old school they didn't offer any APs but they offer a bunch here. I basically did junior year twice except the only class that I technically repeated was junior English, mainly because I had a horrendous junior English teacher last year at my old school. This year I'm taking AP Environmental Science, AP Music Theory, Spanish 4 Honors, Honors Junior English, and Chamber Choir. Music is my true passion but I am also interested in animal behavior, human behavior, ecology, and some other stuff that I've been learning in AP Enviro. I also really enjoy learning the Spanish language. I'm just trying to figure out which APs I should take next year. </p>

<p>For math, they couldn't fit me into Stats and I already took Calculus so that's why I don't currently have a math class, but I might pick one up online in the spring. </p>

<p>My options for APs are:
AP Stats
AP Spanish
AP English Lit (AP Lang isn't offered here)
AP Bio </p>

<p>I really don't want to take four so I was wondering which ones seemed most important. Stats is probably necessary since it's the only math I haven't really taken and I refuse to take Calc BC. English is probably my weakest subject so I'd be nervous about English Lit. AP Bio seems boring but I don't plan on taking Physics.</p>

<p>I’d go with Bio, Spanish, and maybe Lit. You say you don’t want BC; do they have AB? You could do that instead of Lit.</p>

<p>It really depends, to some degree, what major you might be considering - slant that towards the AP’s you might want to take. AP Stats, although I think is legit, is not viewed as equal to AB or BC Calc - good luck!</p>
