Did I make the right decision with my schedule?

<p>I know…another schedule thread. I’m so sorry.:
So I went to get my schedule changed today (junior year in High school) and my dad was with me. I was originally going to take AP Biology instead of AP Art History but both he and the counselor said to take art history since it would be online and I am already in AP Chemistry and Honors Physics (no AP here). They also said it would make me look a lot better rounded. The thing is, last year I took 4 AP classes (1 science AP and 3 History APs) This year I’ll have 3 AP Histories as well including Art history and still only one AP Science. I want to major in physics/biophysics or neuroscience, will this be a problem. I look like a History buff. I mean, I love history, but I’m not going to major in it. Here is my schedule: Do you think it looks well rounded? Will it be manageable? I have ecs like a lot of you (winter and spring varsity sports, musicals with 4 hour rehearsals…clubs etc…yall know the deal)</p>

<p>First Semester:
AP Chemistry
Honors Physics (no AP at my school) Honors Spanish III
Calculus
AP Art History (instead of AP biology) </p>

<p>Second Semester:
AP Chemistry
AP English Language
AP Art History
AP Government and Politics History
AP US History</p>

<p>Thank you so much! :slight_smile: I’m trying to get in UNC Chapel Hill (I live in NC), Duke, Elon, Davidson…etc. also applying to top tier schools out of state but not seriously considering:/</p>

<p>I would recommend taking AP
Biology if you want to major in something related to it. It does help to look well rounded, but I have always heard that you should take AP classes that are geared toward you major! You have a very rigorous schedule which is good for schools like Duke and UNC! Good luck! (I am also going to be a senior this year.) :)</p>

<p>Switching out one AP for another shouldn’t be a mistake.
I personally am taking the three AP histories because I love history, but am not going to major in it. I want to take advantage of them now.</p>

<p>And this is the time for scheduling threads. :-)</p>

<p>You need to take ap bio. It is an ap science and you need a few ap sciences</p>
