Hello all. I am currently a Junior and I am looking at what my class schedule will look like next year. We have a couple of days to choose, so I would like to ask for help in deciding.
Freshman year:
Spanish 2
Honors English 9
Honors Biology
Honors Algebra 1
Global Studies
Theology (mandatory bc Catholic school)
Electives: Speech (public speaking), and PE
Sophomore year:
Spanish 3
Honors English 10
Chemistry
Algebra 2
Honors Western civilization
Theology
Elective: Acting
Junior year:
Spanish 4
AP English Language
Physics
Honors Geometry
AP US History
Theology
Elective: Photography
And for my senior year, I have 4 classes that I am absolutely sure I want to take and they are:
AP English literature
AP Macroeconomics (want to major in)
AP Government
Theology
This means I have three slots to fill with whatever I want, but I do not want to take too many AP's and be overworked during college apps
I am thinking about dropping spanish and not going on to AP. Is that ok because I have already done 4 years? As for precaluculs, I was recommended for honors precalc but am not sure I want to take it because of all my APs and honors. I would also like to take AP Biology, but would it be ok to take say Marine Biology so I can focus more on my other classes?
My counselor is recommending me for an independent study to fill my elective slot because of my heavy course load. Is that ok to have on a transcript when you are obviously not slacking off with other classes?
Thank you if you read this far, and just to clarify.... I have three class slots to fill with the following classes: AP Spanish, AP Biology, Preclaculus, honors Precalculus, Marine Biology, and Independent study. These would be on top of the 4 listed above. And before you say go all out with 6 AP's, I just want to say that is not something I really want to do, there is a fine line between a hard course load and too much.
Thank you very much! And any help is appreciated,
