Hey guys! I can take 6 classes and so far I am taking PreAP Precalculus, AP Chemistry, AP Physics 1, AP US History, AP Computer Science A, and PreAP English 2.
Now, I was kind of unsure about some of the classes I chose…
Precalc or AP Stat? ~ I could do precalc 10th, Calc BC 11th, and Stat 12th, or take precalc online and do stat 10th and bc 11th and relax/take an elective 12th.
APUSH or AP World History ~ In my school, all the sophomores take AP World History and the juniors take AP US History, but since most of my classes are with juniors, I decided APUSH would be better. Also, I heard APUSH is easier but I wanted to know what was easier from the experience you guys had with these 2 classes.
AP Chem I am taking because I tested out, of chemistry, english is english, and I am not changing physics 1.
Last one was AP Seminar… I heard you can take AP Seminar and AP Research and receive the AP Capstone Diploma for achieving this. I wanted to know if this diploma would look extremely good on my college resume. Let me know what your thoughts are.
I am a student who wants to challenge himself and strives to attend a prestigious college one day, and every ounce of help I receive is a blessing. Thank you so much guys!
No, AP diploma doesn’t matter.
Pre-calculus is the next math course in the sequence. Take it. AP stats is an AP lite and an elective. Make sure you take stats in college.
Take AP world or apush, it doesn’t matter. Do make sure you have four years of history /social science.
I’m not sure skipping honors chemistry and going straight into one of the hardest ap. Science classes is a good idea. See the chemistry teacher.
Your schedule is missing a foreign language. Based on the rest of your schedule 's rigor it’ll be expected you reach level 4 by senior year.
I’ve taken both APUSH and AP World (currently taking APUSH). I personally think APUSH is the easier class out of the two
IMO, the hardest AP History class is the first one you take as for many students, it’s the first time that they have to synthesize ideas from primary sources into a cohesive paper instead of simple spitting out names and dates.
It won’t look bad, let’s put it that way. But it’s hardly an OMG-that’s-so-awesome gamechanging item on the resume, IMO.
I agree with both of @MYOS1634 's points here.
@MYOS1634 First of all, thanks a ton for all the help! I talked to the chemistry teacher and she said it should be fine but will be a brutal challenge and I’m willing to accept it. Also, I’m taking Spanish 3 online so it will show up on my transcript as a course taken online.
@ascholar13 this helps a ton, thank you!
