Thanks guys! I would still like to study history, but I’m afraid it’ll get in the way of my other studies if it’s as hard as you say.

@schachwhiz: Well, since I’m an international student, I thought it’d be smart to look up what courses I needed to get into my top universities (NYU, Columbia, UPenn). On collegeboards, there is this option where you can find out what are the minimum requirements for certain universities, and you are required to take at least 3 years of history. Since I’m an international student, they will probably take my available courses into consideration and not hold it against me. My school doesn’t offer history from sophomore year and beyond, because Religious Studies, Arabic, AP Calculus, and AP English are imperative. But I’d still like to show universities that I had enough interest to meet the minimum requirements, you know?

Also, is AP Comp Gov easy to self study? It seems pretty interesting and fairly easy…
And any other thoughts on self-studying World History??
