5 APs?

Pre-College Topics High School Cafe

<p>Hello guys, I really would like some help here. I am very ambitious and incredibly eager to learn, yet, my junior year schedule seems rather…much? I am planning on taking the following 5 APs:

  1. AP Chemistry
  2. AP Human Geography
  3. AP Physics 1
  4. AP Language and Composition (Also called English Language or English 3)
  5. AP European History (Debatable)
    Now, I am DEFINITELY taking the first four. In my school, AP Chem is supposed to be tough for some and easy for others. The HW consists of a packet to finish for the chapter, not daily assignments. However, the tests are tough and the teacher is kind of shaky, not to good, but not bad either. AP HUG is supposed to be interesting, but still work, but less work than the APUSH class I’m taking this year (which I am pretty good in: 97 average, but CRAP LOAD of work.) AP Phys 1 is just an ap science course to get out of the way, yet it sounds pretty cool since I enjoy physics. The homework load is much like math, daily problems. AP Lang of course, consists of essays, essays…and essays, but I want the English credit for college. I can have a 5th ap if I choose. Now, I am very interested in European history and would love the class. Yet, I do not know if the workload would push me over the edge. The teacher (is supposed to) grade easily, instead of chapter questions, there are projects and also available hw packets. So the workload isn’t that much, but is it too much when combined with the others? I am very conflicted on if to take it or not and also how to balance my schedule as well. (I also have a spring sport.)</p>

<p>APHUG, if anything like my school, should be fairly easy. The concepts are fairly easy to grok, and you shouldn’t have much trouble with it. </p>

<p>You can probably handle the course load if you are able to work/read quickly and study as much as possible.</p>

<p>Shouldn’t you have a math class?</p>

<p>I assumed the OP was just listing the proposed AP’s and that the other class(es) in the schedule, including math, were non-AP.</p>

<p>Yeah, the math is non-AP and the other is an elective and a language.</p>

<p>Go for it! Tons of people I know have like 4.8 GPAs and have no college admission problems whatsoever. (MIT, Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, etc…) If they can do it, I’m sure you can too. (Just be prepared to put in the work)</p>
