Are five academic classes enough for junior year?

Applying to College

<p>Hey y’all,</p>

<p>I am taking five academic classes this year, my 11th grade year:
AP English
AP Biology
AP Environmental Science
AP Psychology
Honors Precalculus</p>

<p>I go to a highly ranked public school in Southern California and plan on maintaining consistent As with probably one B (or at most two) and on taking Mock Trial second semester, which counts as a semester elective academic course. However, I need to know if I should be taking a separate sixth academic class to be better considered for UCLA and UC Berkeley (or other colleges with similar backgrounds).
If I do take Mock Trial second semester, should I still take a sixth academic course this year?</p>

<p>It depends. My daughter could only take 5 classes per quarter. What are other students taking? If a lot of other students are taking 6, you should take 6. </p>

<p>UC admissions are different than any other set of schools. Consult those threads to make sure you have all the necessary requirements.</p>
