<p>^ You definitely need a science class in there.</p>
<p>^Nah, I’m really not interested in any of the AP sciences so I’d rather take AP Psychology so I can have three APs in my junior year and then I’ll probably take Astronomy senior year. I’m not planning on majoring in anything science-related and I’ll still have the recommended three years of science for college.</p>
<p>^ Ah I see. We have 3 of the same classes :).</p>
<p>What do you think about my schedule?</p>
<p>AP Biology
AP English Language
AP European History -online
AP Psychology -online
Honors Pre Calc
Honors US History - no AP</p>
<p>Would it look bad if I dont take a science class my junior year? After my sophomore year I will have 4 sciences already done ( H physics, H chem, H bio, APES). The reason that I dont want to take a science is that I already have a demanding schedule in which that science spot can be replaced with some easy honors elective.</p>
<p>Schedule:
(block schedule, 4 90 min. classes each semester)
AP calc ab
AP calc bc
AP comparative gov
AP US Hist
AP Psych
H english4
H econ
H anatomy or H sociology</p>
<p>Online: AP human geo and AP world history (both yearlong).
Sociology and Econ are considered joke classes. Literally no HW at all.</p>
<p>In anatomy you actually have a ton of HW and need to study for tests</p>

Nice!!! AP pysch is supposed to be a LOT of fun, though I’ve heard Lang is just annoying because you really just need to know how to write a good essay. Congrats on #1. </p>
<p>Out of curiosity, what’s the size of everyone’s graduating class?</p>
<p>I can’t decide whether I’d rather be #1 out of ~100 or top 5 out of ~600…At least that means my school offers a lot of AP classes, its like 19 or something. I will only not take 2 D:
Has anyone taken calc BC yet?</p>
<p>Wow…good luck bricksquad!!! No matter how you look at it, more than 6 AP’s is never fun… 
At least we only have 2 years left guys!!!</p>
<p>I know…atleast senior year will be more relaxed. But isnt psych, comparative gov, human geo, and world history considered “easier” AP’s? Atleast in my school psych and comparative are pretty easy. And since I am taking the other two online I will have to spend 1 hour on each course daily.</p>
<p>@julieannab My class size is somewhere between 900-1000.</p>
<p>@julieannab: Yes, I have heard it’s great! I’m excited that I am finally taking a class outside of the 4 main subject areas. I think I am pretty decent at writing essays, but there is definitely room for improvement. Thank you! :)</p>
<p>My class size is pretty small, around 270 students. </p>
<p>@bricksquad: Good luck with that! I don’t think I could handle those classes and still have my sanity by the end of the year :D. But yes, I think you are fine not taking another science until senior year, I recommend AP Physics C since you will have Calculus under your belt. </p>
<p>Also, AP World (online) is the 3rd most challenging AP at my school. At least that’s what this year’s valedictorian at my school told me. I think she ended up making a 2 on the exam, so that being said I definitely will not take that class. </p>
<p>Are you taking your AP’s through NCVPS? That’s where I am taking AP Euro and AP Psych.</p>
<p>I don’t know if this will offend anyone, and if it does, I really did not mean it offensively. I promise. Pinky promise.</p>
<p>OKAY, so does your school have a lot of teenage pregnancies? Because my school has around 10ish and some already given birth. And most of them aren’t even seniors/juniors… They are mostly sophomores, our age group.</p>
<p>How about your school?</p>
<p>I have noticed the same occurrence, in the sophomore class as well! We have 5 girls in the school who are pregnant, all in our grade.</p>
<p>There were a few pregnant seniors and one pregnant junior from what I remember. None in our grade, though. Usually teen pregnancies are a given with public schools.</p>
<p>I know… But not like 10 people in your grade level!! There are none in the junior (next year senior class), but everyone in my grade are like 6-7 months already pregnant. </p>
<p>And I guess so… My best friend’s school has none and she goes to public…</p>
<p>@nate yeah Im taking them through NCVPS. Im not taking the exam for world history though. There is a student in my class that tells me that world history and human geography are easy. Although hes taking 4 AP’s and 4 Honors in school. Then 3 other Ap classes at home. (human geo, world hist, comp sci)</p>
<p>@julieannab: The class at my current school is ~130. The school that I am transferring to will have a class of about 330-340</p>
<p>Sent from my ADR6350 using CC</p>
<p>My current graduating class is ~500. Sometimes I wish I went to a smaller school, but otherwise there’s nothing particularly horrid about a large class.</p>
<p>Graduating class is about ~130 as well. I guess there are a couple of good things about going to a small school, but IMO it doesn’t really outweigh the bad. Trust me, you do not want to go to a small school. No ECs outside of sports except for something like three Christian/religious clubs, Model UN, Student Council, and Yearbook - the last three which require you to take a class to be in them. We have a couple of clubs that are practically in name only like NHS. You get inducted, and there’s literally no more than maybe 2 meetings the entire year. <_<</p>
<p>My class has around 350 students. I think there are only 1-2 pregnant girls in the school. In NoVa, we stay classy.</p>
<p>lol @ that</p>
<p>Okay so I finally finished my junior year plan, including classes, ecs, events, work, interest development, travel, etc. I’m gonna have a very busy schedule, haha!</p>
<p>Here is my finalized schedule for junior year:</p>
<p>-Spanish 3
-AP Lang
-AP USH
-CP Physics
-AP Physics B
-AP Art History
-Calculus 3 at CC
-Differential Equations at CC
-AP Biology on FLVS
-Either French 1 or Latin 1 on FLVS, can’t decide
-self study AP Environmental Science
-self study AP World History</p>
<p>Am I screwed? I also play varsity sports (I’m captain of boys volleyball team), am doing three clubs, three national events, volunteering with a cancer program, got a job at Nordstrom, studying abroad in Paris for 4 weeks, etc. </p>
<p>I think my free time will most likely be negative.</p>
