<p>Hello CC. I have a question. In August i will officially enter my Senior year in High School. I have signed up for the following classes. AP English IV, AP Chemistry, AP Calculus, AP Psychology, Accounting II, Advanced Business Studies, Medieval studies, Multimedia, AP Statistics and AP Computer science. Medieval Studies, AP Stats and AP Comp. Science are online classes which will of course be year long except Medieval Studies. So far the only year long classes will be AP English and AP Comp./AP Stats, the rest will be semester classes. This past year ( My junior year) I took 2 AP Classes, US History and English III. I did decent in english and well in history, the only reason i did semi poorly in english is cause we had an awful teacher. The classes that arent AP and AP English will have little to no homework as most are online and online classes dont give homework. AP Chemsitry will have homework EVERY NIGHT. I just passed Chemistry with a 96 Average and my teacher said AP would be just like regular, we would have homework every night. I just passes Pre-calc online with an 89 average ( me and my 2 friends basically taught ourselves) Ap Psych will only have homework like Journal entrys or papers and English only does Papers also. I am very good in Accounting, i passed the Accounting I exam with a 99. Advanced Business Studies is basically we help our main business teacher do our school website, certificates and stuff like that. I just passed MSITA word PowerPoint and Publisher last year and this past semester i passed MSITA Excel and Access. I am certified in all of these except Publisher because it doesnt have a certification yet and Multimedia is the next step up from those which is basically HTML design and that stuff. With all this said, AP Stats, AP Comp Science and Medieval studies will be in the same class period and i will likely have to do some of the work at home for them. My only classes with homework will be AP Chem. AP Calc. AP English (papers) AP Psych some AP Stats work and AP Comp Science work. My question is do you guys think that this is to much? I am potentially only taking the Stats and Calc AP Exams, the rest are just because i like the class or i want the GPA boost which atm is a 3.6 btw. I intend to attend Cambelle University in North Carolina ( My state) for a Ph.D. in Pharmacy after graduation. What do you guys think, is this to much?</p>
<p>I think it’ll challenging, not super, super hard, but a lot of studying.</p>
<p>If you’re asking whether this is too much for you, it probably is. Only take the classes that you think will really interest you and have homework that you will definitely be able to complete and understand. With all the stress of applying to colleges and senioritis, tons of kids slack off. Make sure you’re not one of those kids by reducing your course load to something doable, but still challenging.</p>
<p>And if you’re only taking certain APs to boost your GPA, it’s not going to work. Most colleges only care about your unweighted GPA, which means the extra “weight” of the AP classes you took won’t have such a strong effect on your average.</p>
<p>For future reference, please organize your text in a more reader-friendly format. Break it up into smaller chunks. It’s hard to devour this all at once.</p>
<p>I second qt’s post about the reader-friendy part. I didn’t read this pot mainly because it was just a big chunk of text.</p>
<p>I suppose my main question is what exactly do you do in AP Computer science and in AP Statistics, cause i googled both and AP Stats seems like taking Baseball stats and talking about them? And Computer science looked to me like i started with basic’s such as hardware and software then went into more difficult stuff like Algorithms. Can anyone give me any insight on what these 2 classes include?</p>
