Balancing Rigor... Course Choices for SY2010

<p>I’m a rising junior.</p>

<p>Our (math + science) school has a 7-period system, with a mandated “internship” class. </p>

<p>In addition, our school’s hardest sciences for junior year (Physics C Mech+E/M and Chem) are two periods. Just taking Phys C: Mech is one period.</p>

<p>Our schedule looks something like this:</p>

<p>Math (1 period)
Science (1/2 periods)
Humanities <a href=“2%20periods”>Lang + apush + apgov</a>
Internship (1 period)
Elective(s) (1/2 periods)</p>

<p>That means that leaves us with one elective space - our foreign language, if we take the most rigorous science.</p>

<p>Should I take Physics E/M + Mech my junior year just to have the most rigorous course possible (p.s., I’m not good @ physics [kind of dislike it], but i HAVE taken calc), or should I just take Phys C so I can take both my foreign language plus another elective (is this case, computer music).</p>

<p>My plan for my internship was to make an EP (mini-album) with my comp. music class (so I could do something I enjoy AND possibly put it on my future apps?), but if I take the MOST rigorous courses, I won’t be able to do that.</p>

<p>Thoughts, Suggestions, Comments, Questions?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Hmm… Idk. what do u want to major in?</p>

<p>idk if getting the “most rigorous” check is worth it in this case. it looks like your school’s pretty hard already.</p>
