<p>Would it be better if I dropped Anatomy for AP Spanish?
My guidance counselor says that taking 4 science courses makes me look not well-rounded, so I should take spanish instead, but I hate spanish.</p>
<p>if you hate spanish then you don’t have to take it, but taking 4 science courses is probably a bad idea. even if it’s what you want to do, colleges don’t like to see you “majoring” in high school. i’m dropping science to take 2 histories, and even that is supposedly questionable even though i like my decision, so i’m pretty sure 4 classes in 1 subject could hurt you. if you hate spanish, i’d recommend dropping anatomy for a history course- just try to add something in the humanities to make you more well rounded.</p>
<p>???</p>
<p>Your schedule is fine. Take the classes you want. And remember: it’s only your senior year! Don’t kill yourself with work yet!</p>
<p>anyone???</p>
<p>In my opinion, your schedule portrays that you are a hard-working student. I give you props. 
I took it easy this year, so I definitely admire you for carrying on with a tough workload for your SENIOR YEAR. Haha. XD If science is your thing, cool. I like English, therefore I tend to take English-related courses. I don’t see anything wrong with your schedule. Hope that helps! :)</p>
<p>Listen to your guidance counselor. He’s spot on.</p>
<p>It does look a bit lop-sided without a foreign language or history class. Is Forensics a full year? (in our district, it’s just a semester). </p>
<p>Many colleges like to see 4 years of foreign language - my daughter & most of her math/science friends are taking Spanish 5 this year. It’s a fairly easy class for kids who’s heads might explode if they took another AP class. </p>
<p>The 4 APs you list are some of the toughest out there, especially taking Bio AND Chem. What sort of AP experience do you have already? If you haven’t taken many, I would lighten your load or you will be hating yourself on May 1, 2012.</p>
<p>I think it depends in part on how much Spanish you’ve had–some kids are already in Spanish 5 as juniors, for example. If I were you, I’d consider replacing one of those science classes with history or something similar.</p>
<p>Science is economical and juicy, but you are not applying for graduate school are you? Try to be versatile, take history, art, music or other language instead! That’s better</p>
<p>okay thank you</p>
<p>Have you met your graduation requirements in history or social studies? Have you had any AP or honors in those? Four sciences in one year does seem like a lot - consider lab requirements and the like.</p>
<p>My son’s proposed senior year schedule is:</p>
<p>AP Physics C
AP Bio
AP Comparative World Gov’t
AP Micro/macro economics
2 one semester English electives (whatever fits in his schedule) The AP English teacher at our school is bad and he doesn’t really like English as it is.

<p>His GC wants him to take only one science AP (he’s had honors bio, chem and physics).</p>
<p>He is thinking of possibly adding another elective, maybe in law (so he can take a class with his 10th grade brother). He dropped language after 2 years since he has no desire to attend a top school. He doesn’t quite get that he’s going to have to take LOTE wherever he goes! However, he does that his sister solved the language issue by taking 2 semesters over the summer at a local CC - she got the credits but not the grade.</p>
<p>Four sciences is probably too many - it’ll give the impression that you’re not well-rounded and you don’t have interests or talents outside of science (whether or not that’s actually true).</p>
<p>AP Spanish would be worthwhile, as more and more schools are looking for four years of foreign language.</p>
<p>ive had:
english- 2 honors, 1 ap
math- 3 honors, 1 ap
history- 3 honors
science- 4 honors
spanish- 3 honors</p>
<p>I’ve fulfilled all my requirements except english, which is why i have AP IV scheduled for next year.</p>
