Can I drop AP Psych for a Study ?

I’m not talking about just in your school. I’m talking about the rest of America and applicants YOU will have to compete with to when you’re applying to those schools. Especially to Michigan, NYU, BU, Northeastern, Syracuse, and Penn State - your schedule is weaker compared to most of the other applicants there.

In the context of those schools and their applicants, the seniors will have already finished Calculus or will be taking a Calculus class in their senior year - definitely not Precalculus.

Geez, accept the truth would you? And, actually, a CC overachiever would have finished the AP Calculus sequence by the end of sophomore year. The math sequence I am going through is actually the norm in a sense and far from so. I’m not gloating, you just can’t face the facts. The applicants to the schools you are applying to will have already finished Precalculus as it is typically a junior-year class. You NEED AP Psychology to strengthen your senior year schedule. What you have as your senior year schedule are blow-off classes to be frank. If you can’t deal with it and can’t self-study it either, then don’t take it or do independent self-study and undermine your standing to other applicants, simple as that. Stop complaining about how hard the summer homework is too. There’s seniors out there who have it much worse than you, even juniors and sophomores too. Take the constructive criticism I am giving you instead of being so defensive about it.

** I misread the Honors Calc as Honors Precalc. But still, your schedule is weak.
