Which Senior Schedule is More Impressive?

<p>AP Environmental Science
AP Literature
AP US History
Newspaper
Multivariable Calculus/Differentiable Equations (3 Periods)</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>AP Biology (2 Periods)
AP Literature
AP US History
AP Statistics
AP Spanish
Newspaper</p>

<p>*For science classes, I've already taken Honors level physics, chemistry and biology, as well as AP Physics.</p>

<p>I’d say they’re almost equal. Maybe the second one because of the language. What are you planning to major in? That might be the deciding factor. If you don’t know, then I’d say they’re close to equal…</p>

<p>You’re thinking about it too much. Both are incredibly difficult…</p>

<p>It doesn’t make any difference. Both schedules are rigorous. Pick what you like and what suits your future goals and interests.</p>

<p>I agree with the other posters. At this point, these are both insanely rigorous schedules and colleges will notice that; the difference to admissions committees is negligible enough that you’re better off choosing the schedule you’d personally prefer.</p>

<p>ok i’m most likely going to do the first one then. i just thought it would hurt me to not be taking a language or a lab science senior year</p>

<p>I do think taking AP Spanish will look favorable on your application, though. I would go with the second option if I were you.</p>

<p>To be honest, the first one looks a lot more rigorous to me. Having multivariable calc/diff eq. looks solid to colleges.</p>

<p>You made this much more long-winded than it needs to be because both share AP Literature, AP US History, and Newspaper. Thus, it comes does to</p>

<p>AP Environmental Science
Multivariable Calculus/Differentiable Equations (3 Periods)</p>

<p>vs.</p>

<p>AP Biology (2 Periods)
AP Statistics
AP Spanish</p>

<p>I think AP Environmental Science = AP Statistics when colleges look at your classes, so it now comes down to…</p>

<p>Multivariable Calculus/Differentiable Equations (3 Periods)</p>

<p>vs.</p>

<p>AP Biology (2 Periods)
AP Spanish</p>

<p>I think option 2 looks better because it is two AP classes. Even though the first schedule has one college class, colleges may question the ability of a high school to teach a college class.</p>

<p>eh as long as its not a huge difference i think im gonna stick with the first one just because i actually like calculus and hate/can’t speak spanish. does anybody know how colleges view multivariable taken in highschool or how well it prepares you for college?</p>

<p>any other recommendations?</p>

<p>What colleges do you have in mind and what major(s) are you considering pursuing? Schedule 1 makes more sense if you’re planning on being an engineer-type person.</p>
