<p>Do these classes look good for senior year in ib programme and for applying to college?
i am in an international baccalaureate school near dc and i only have a few more days to decide on my schedule. please help! i want to major in IR. i am applying to schools like william and mary, georgetown, bc, bu. do you think this schedule is good? i work 15hrs/week too and am on a varsity sports team each season and am dedicated officer of 2 clubs.</p>

<p>IB English HL
IB European History HL
IB Biology HL
IB Spanish 6 HL
IB TOK (1st semester)
AP Calc AB
French 1</p>

<p>i am pretty much forced to take most of those classes to get my ib diploma. the only class i had a choice with was french. i really really want to learn french, but i am afraid colleges will see french 1 and think i am taking it just to be slack. but i still want it to look good! i cant decide if i should switch to ap comp gov. what do you think? do you think this schedule still looks good? honestly, i have pretty much already taken all the APs i wanted at my school. APs i have taken: US History(4), US Govt(5), Art History(4), Spanish Lang(5), English Lang(4), Human Geo(4). plus i did my 2 SL exams already: psych (5) math studies (7). any suggestions? thank you!</p>

<p>I think you should just take whatever interests you. You shouldn’t take a class or do anything for that matter just to please someone.</p>

<p>It’s a strong schedule. I do think though that French 1 looks out of place. It’s very unlikely to help you in any way with your application. If you have time for a 7th class without compromising grades and preparation for the IB consider taking a visual or performing art course instead.</p>
