<p>I’m taking 4 APs next year, possible 5. Some people at my school are like ***!!!??!!?!? While others are like I’m taking 5 APs now (junior year) and I plan on taking 6 next year. Now that’s crazy.</p>
<p>haha. I’m gullible.</p>
<p>I don’t like how AP classes are set up… at least in my school, the focus is more on getting a 3+ on the exam, rather than actually learning and caring about the subject at hand.</p>
<p>@candidcrocodiles</p>
<p>Words of wisdom from a senior at my school (note: She got accepted to Harvard SCEA) “Don’t overwork yourself senior year because once you get into college you won’t care anymore. I got into Harvard and I just don’t care about school anymore. It’s bound to happen. Senioritis is real and affecting everyone especially EA/ED kids who were accepted. I spend nights just chilling watching movies while I have piles of AP work, but at this point I just don’t care. I regret adding too much to my course load.” She’s a really cool person to talk to and is honestly one of my role models. </p>
<p>Which is why I’m trying to limit my AP’s to 4 for next year. Seems like an amount I can handle while still being rigorous. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Are you taking AP Physics A this year?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Is this an internet ■■■■■???
I guess we are on CC and anything is possible. (However I never knew there was an AP Cancer Research and AP World Hunger Studies or Physics D ;))</p>
<p>Senior Schedule:
AP Calc BC
AP Stats
AP Lit
AP Econ
AP Gov
Physics H
PE
Lunch
Open (looking forward to this)</p>
<p>Right now it’s looking like my schedule will be:</p>
<p>AP Art History
AP Lit
AP Gov
AP Micro/Macro
Spanish 4
AP Spanish
Linear Algebra
Real Analysis/Number Theory
Light and Heat
AP Psychology
+maybe Linguistics or Archaeology</p>
<p>Also a question: is my friend a lock for top schools?
I do realize that it is impossible to know for sure whether or not someone will be admitted to the most selective schools. However, I was wondering how much being a URM would actually help him. He’s the most academically qualified African-American I know.</p>
<p>(He’s a junior)
SAT: he just took it, but probably got 2300+ based on how he felt and his practice test scores
AP Classes: he took one last year (AP Euro) and got a 5 without studying. Now he’s in AP Lang, AP USH, AP Art History, AP Spanish, AP Calculus AB, and AP Calculus BC. He’ll probably get 5’s on all of them. Next year he’s taking AP Lit, AP Gov, AP Econ, AP French, AP Physics, and Multivariable Calculus.
Extracurriculars: I don’t know exactly everything he does, but he is an officer in the International Club and Art Club, and I think maybe FBLA. He also works with CSF and the Science Olympiad team. One unique thing about him is that he is a DJ and gets paid buck for it. He also is really artistic and creative, and he buys white Vans and paints them with these amazing designs. He runs track.
Essentially, he’s a genius. Most people at our school would say I’m the most intelligent, but those who know both my friend and me really well agree that it is him. And I agree with them. Since he’s black, is he pretty much set for the most selective schools?</p>
<p>Edit:
Oh and he learns languages for fun. He speaks Spanish, French, Tagalog, Korean, and Japanese.</p>
<p>AP Biology
AP Calculus BC
AP English Literature & Composition
AP Statistics
AP US Government
Honors Economics
Business Procedures</p>
<p>I probably won’t know my college decisions until March, so I’m hoping senioritis doesn’t affect me that much. But honestly, getting good grades alone is pretty easy for me, it’s mainly that combined with standardized testing and ECs that is stressing me out. Hopefully I’ll be done with testing by senior year and I’ll ease up on my ECs, that way all I have to worry about is doing my homework and then I’m done for the day.</p>
<p>I understand the need to limit AP courses, but at the same time, I need most of these:
AP Spanish 6 (required)
AP Spanish Lit (required)
AP USH (it’s that or honors, which is two classes, and I have to take one of them)
AP Calc AB
AP Calc BC (both required for a few colleges that I am applying to)
AP Computer Science(required for some colleges)
Honors Wind Ensemble 4 (I like this class, even though we get actual homework)
That only leaves me one slot open. At my school, classes are either every day for ninety days or every other day for 180, and the last slot is the 180 day one. I still need English, but only AP is every other day, so
AP English Lit.
I hate myself, but I’m kind of stuck.</p>
<p>What college REQUIRES you take AP Calc BC?</p>
<p>Some engineering colleges</p>
<p>So excited I brought up my precalculus grade from a F to a 65.325 lol. We have a quiz tomorrow so I have to get at *least[i/] a B.</p>
<p>Also we register for classes Monday and I still can’t make up my mind on the classes I would like to take. I applied to two research internships that is held in the summer of this year and during school during senior year. This means that (if I get accepted into one) I can only take two classes each semester during senior year. The results from the National Cancer Institute haven’t e-mailed me yet… I really hope they choose me lol</p>
<p>We aren’t registering for classes yet but my schedule will probably look something like this:</p>
<p>AP Calc BC / Multi
AP Physics C Electricity & Magnetism
AP Latin Seminar
AP Humanities 4
AP Economics</p>
<p>That much is basically set in stone. In addition I may have to take some stupid religion course and I might end up taking Honors Greek 3.</p>
<p>Don’t forget to register now for the SAT in March if you haven’t already, deadline is next week! My schedule is packed next year, I’m pretty sure the most classes I will be taking my whole High School career, but I’m taking easy science and math because I don’t want to do anything involving those subjects in the future so here’s what it will probably be.
AP English Lit
AP GEM (AP Gov, regular economics and 1 day during our 6 day cycle the seniors mentor the freshmen)
Adv Algebra/ Prob and Stat
Marine Bio
AP French
PE/ Personal Finance (Mandatory classes ugh)
Creative Writing 2 (Took 1 this year)
AP Human Geography
Dance (New class added so excited)</p>
<p>Okay, guys, advice: I’ve been taking all somewhat accelerated classes this year, except for AP Psych. Can I handle three APs (Llang, human geo, us gov) and two honors classes along with two other accelerated classes?</p>
<p>@agreatperhaps
It really depends on your schedule and how well you’re doing in the classes. If you’re taking any AP’s this year, you’ll know that they’re not THAT much different than accelerated classes. AP Lang isn’t difficult at all in fact- other than the research paper, it’s really just another english class. We do a few AP prompts here and there, but the curriculum is quite similar to that of sophomore honors english.
Human geo, I’m not that sure of. I’ve heard that AP US gov is quite difficult, but not impossible. I think you can handle it if you’re willing to try hard. I belieeeevee in yoooouuuuu.</p>

I assume that AP Cancer Research would be an extension of AP Biology and require it as a prerequisite. AP Astronomy would probably require AP Physics B as an optional prerequisite, and would be a mix of physics and space science. I could see AP World Hunger Studies being an extension of the humanities APs. AP Physics D would probably be the Physics B and Physics C topics with multivariable calculus. Might as well made an AP called AP Calculus CD.</p>
<p>But not bad…</p>
<p>I`ll join in this thread as well…
As for senior year, it`ll probably look like this:</p>
<p>First term:
Physics
French III
…and 2 more classes I need to decide on.</p>
<p>Second term:
AP Physics
AP English Lit.
AP Govt./Econ.
AP Statistics</p>
<p>And I`ll be taking the March SAT. Just in case I do horribly on it and I can still retake in June lol.</p>
<p>Since I’m in IB (Diploma), all of the classes that I am taking junior year are the same senior year:</p>
<p>IB Math HL
IB Biology HL
IB English HL
IB Spanish HL
IB History SL
IB Latin SL</p>
<p>Not terribly exciting…</p>
