<p>i have a 4.23 UC GPA, 2180 SAT, 760 USHIST, 740 MATH LVL2 (retaking)
Senior
My schedule as of right now is:
IB History of the Americas HL
AP/IB Biology HL
IB LA HL
IB Math SL
AP Physics
AP/IB Spanish SL</p>
<p>Im thinking about dropping Physics and taking early dismissal and switching my Math SL class to the Math Studies SL class which is a lot easier. I took Calc BC last year. This change would make my schedule A LOT easier since i would have more time and since Spanish is already going to be an EXTREMELY difficult class since no habla espanol. Will this change hurt my chances to UCs such as UCLA and UC Berkeley?? I at least want to be able to drop Physics since that will be the biggest benefit.</p>
<p>So far ive already taken the following APs: Euro, APUSH, Chem
and the following IB: Chem, LA</p>
<p>If you already have your foreign language requirement out of the way, then yes, you can drop that Spanish course. But keep in mind that UC Berkeley is the toughest of the UCs to get into, and they will look at your senior year courseload. </p>
<p>If you think that Spanish course or Physics course is going to ruin your first semester senior GPA, then yes drop one or both courses, but if you think you can get through it (even if only the first semester), then stick with this courseload and change it come springtime if you need to.</p>
<p>P.S. You look pretty solid to get into Berkeley even if you do change the senior courseload in my opinion.</p>
<p>Ok thanks. I think im just gonna keep the math class but still drop AP physics. That not only frees up and hour a day but also gives me less hw to do. Ill save almost 2 hrs a day just by dropping one class.</p>
<p>Okay, good luck with that. Hopefully you can not only use the time for your other classes, but also for your ECs and college apps (as well as having some fun).</p>
<p>Hope to see you up here in northern California next year.</p>
