4 years of sports or another academic class?

<p>I currently have: </p>

<p>English 3 Honors
AP French
AP Spanish
Chemistry Honors
US History (not AP) 0 period
AP Statistics
Track</p>

<p>Would it be better to take something like AP Art History instead of Track?
This is my junior years schedule, and my counselor said that taking a sport all four years looks really good in the sense of dedication, and extra curricular. Also, it shows colleges that you had to deal with a sport until the evening and then do your homework. NONETHELESS, I still have no art credit… should I just wait until senior year and do it?</p>

<p>Also, the class weights are: </p>

<p>English 3 Honors 5
AP french 5
AP spanish 5
Chemistry Honors 5
AP Stat 5 (should I take AP art instead of this? i will be taking precalc over the summer)
US History 4
Track (not academic)</p>

<p>No matter which classes I take, does the “US History 4” always drop my gpa? Is my all-maximum always gonna be 4.83???</p>

<p>AP US History is not that difficult. You could do very well in it.</p>

<p>AP Art History, however…this is probably just my school, but almost nobody makes above a 90 on tests, and only two people passed the final exam. I really enjoyed the class, though, it teaches you a lot about religion, European History, and modern culture.</p>

<p>And yeah, 4 years of sports FTW :] I went with the same road too.</p>
