Help with senior schedule to increase chance of getting into good colleges

Pre-College Topics High School Cafe

My current senior schedule is:
AP Environmental Science
AP Physics C Mechanics
AP Economics Macro
AP Economics Micro
AP Calculus AB
Honors English 12 (British Lit)
Tech/Teacher Intern

I am looking to major in something engineering related.
I was wondering if there is anything I could do with my schedule to help improve my chances with some of my high reach schools or if my schedule looks ok.
Schools that I know are high reaches but still want to apply to: UVA, UMichigan, UNC CH

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

You’ve already asked a version of this question, and it still fine. :slight_smile: At this point, assuming that your GC marks your schedule as “most rigorous,” and you’re meeting graduation requirements and recommended class preparation for colleges, there is nothing schedule-wise that you can/should do. You should have a schedule which consists of classes which interest you, are as rigorous as you can handle, and in which you can perform well. Don’t concern yourself with what a hypothetical admissions officer will think.

@skieurope haha thanks. and I know it was a essentially a repost but i recently decided that I want to try to get into to some harder colleges than I was originally planning on. I like all of the classes I signed up for (except econ but that’s required)

@skieurope you seem pretty knowledgeable about this stuff. What are some schools that are good academically but can be labeled as “safeties”
