AP Course & New Visions Dilemma--Will it Affect my College Search?

<p>In our school, we have block scheduling, 4 periods a day for 80 minutes, we work on an A B C D schedule.</p>

<p>In our school, the students can only take 5 AP courses, max(most of the top 10 just take 4).</p>

<p>Next year I “planned” to take 4 APs, AP Spanish, BC Calc, Literature, and Government.</p>

<p>However…I got accepted into this programs called New Visions in Health Career Explorations or something like that. Only 10 kids got in (not sure how many applied), but all I know is that if I take it, I’m gonna lose all my APs for next year. However, I plan to study pre-med in college, and I will have gotten a Physics class in.</p>

<p>Will this affect my college searching and whether or not I’ll get in or not, and is it worth it to do New Visions over the AP classes?</p>

<p>I was thinking if I did take the program (which overrides the school schedule and operates at the local hospital every school day from fall to spring), I might take some classes after school at the local community college to get college credit.</p>

<p>If you’ve taken this before, please tell me what you know.</p>

<p>I think I know the program…it’s only helped people get into college, never hurt them. My school has no APS, and they really encourage them to do New Visions instead. I guess its more practical and interesting to the student. The whole “what’s your passion” question will definately be cleared up if you go to New Visions.</p>
