Which class should I take?

<p>I'm gonna be a freshman this year in high school and I am deciding whether to take algebra 2 honors or orchestra. I started playing the viola in 5th grade, but I'm not that amazing at it. If I take orchestra, I have to take fewer AP/advanced classes. If I take quit orchestra, I can take both geometry adv and algebra 2 honors. This would allow me to take more AP/advanced classes. Do colleges prefer 4 years of orchestra or more AP/advanced classes. I am torn because I want to take more math/science classes in high school but I know colleges like extra curriculars. I don't plan on playing the viola after high school and I wanna major in the business/medical field. I really want to get into a top college and I'm worried that I won't be a "well rounded" student if I don't do orchestra. But I do plan on doing other school clubs. Orchestra gets to go on a huge trip every 3 years which would be fun. I cannot decide, please help!!</p>

<p>First, wanna is not a word.</p>

<p>Second, if you were to take algebra II as a freshman, and presumably precalc as a soph, and AP calc as a junior, what does leave you for a math option for senior year?</p>

<p>Third, are there other musical options other than orchestra e.g. string quartet?</p>

<p>If you gave us a clearer overall picture, you might get some better feedback.</p>

<p>If I take algebra 2, I would be able to take AP statistics or just not take a math class. There is a chamber orchestra, but you have to be in the school orchestra to be in it.</p>

<p>In which case, I would not rush the math sequence, and take orchestra. In the interim, read the below about avoiding the calculus trap, and explore other options for our math energies.</p>
