<p>@TeamRocketGrunt, 15! I am so much younger than most of my classmates</p>
<p>I really do want to take an art class though. I just feel it’s too late to start because the classes are in sequence like Art 1, Art 2 or Theatre Arts 1, Theatre Arts 2 and so on. It’s not that I have a problem with that it’s just that I actually really like art and miss taking it in middle school so I want to be able to take all four classes instead of just randomly starting with Art 1 junior year and not being able to take the other 3. I’ve thought about taking AP Art History though. That’s not the same but I wouldn’t mind taking the class and I think it’s good for the UC requirement.</p>
<p>We have to take an Economics and Personal Finance class online which is really boring. But that’s the only mandatory class, we don’t have to have arts.</p>
<p>Ugh, we have to take, PE/health (One semester of each), a fine arts, a tech credit, AND two years of Foreign Language.</p>
<p>I don’t really mind the fine arts and FL, but the others are really annoying.</p>
<p>cucpake, I skipped a grade, so I’m the youngest in my class lol. It can be rather annoying at times, tbh.</p>
<p>We have to have PE/Health (each one nine weeks), a semester of fine arts, one tech, and two years of FL. I hate the PE/Health and art requirements so much.</p>
<p>At my school, 1 tri of PE and 1 tri of Health are required and we need 2 credits of fine arts.</p>
<p>I wish schools would just let you pick what you wanted to do.</p>
<p>I honestly have no interest in completing arts requirements, maybe other than writing.</p>
<p>At my school we take 3 semesters of gym (1.5 cred), 1 semester of health (.5), 3-4 years of foreign language,
.5 music, .5 art, .5 tech.</p>
<p>It sucks
10char</p>
<p>We have a “fine arts” requirement at my school, too, which I guess is better than an arts requirement. I just take band, not really too interested in art history/painting/ceramics.</p>
<p>Does anyone else have the lowest grades in their elective classes? I’m forced to take gym and my teacher gives 95s to EVERYONE, even the guy who can run a mile in 5 minutes. Even my AP World grade is a 96 right now, and history is my worst subject.</p>
<p>My school also does weighting, so if I have a 98 in an honors class, the weight brings it up to a 102 or 103. So my 100s in band and health always lower my overall GPA. It’s so frustrating.</p>
<p>How many APs do you guys plan on taking next year?</p>
<p>This year is my first AP: US gov</p>
<p>Next year I am taking at least three. English Lang, World history, either Comparative Gov, or Econ (depends on scheduling). I might be taking AP Chem, but probably not, since it would mean skipping first year Chem. Very small chance I will take psych.</p>
<h1>Stanford2020</h1>
<p>@Catchinginfinity, my school does not consider percentages into GPA, and 89.6, or 100 will both equal a 4.0 unweighted. We do weighted GPA too, so an A in an AP class = 5.0. An a in an honors class = 4.5</p>
<p>Let’s just all share our ideal/expected schedule for junior year while we’re at it. :P</p>
<p>Symphonic Band
AP Lang
Project Adventure (Gym)
Physics Honors
Spanish 4 Honors
APUSH
Pre-Calc Honors (Maybe AP AB, depends on if we’re allowed to skip…)</p>
<p>I have two more periods to fill, so I’m thinking about AP Micro (depending on if my school’s running it), AP Bio, AP Chem, and APES. Do any of you have any experience with any of these classes? I heard that APES is extremely easy, but I found environmental science/biology extremely dry when I took an honors class in 9th grade.</p>
<p>I’m so jealous of everyone who’s school offers more AP classes. That’s about the only ones my school has. I really wanted to take AP Psych and Spanish. ):</p>
<p>@letmeseetheworld - Probably 3 or 4!</p>
<p>@cupcake - I guess you’re really lucky! But it’s also kind of unfair how one person with a 90 technically has the same grade as someone else who works harder and has a 95…</p>
<p>I’ll complete mine then …
French 4 honors (Senior year French 5 AP!)
AP World
Chem GT or AP Chem (Both weighted the same, but GT is the first year)
AP Comp Gov or AP Econ
Independent Research GT or AP Psych (preferably the former)
Math Analysis (I can’t take Pre Calc because I’m in Alg 2 reg instead of honors 
)
AP english Lang ( senior year AP Lit 
)</p>
<p>@catchinginfinity dont be jealous, colleges will only expect you to take whats available to you. You’ll only have to take 3-4 APs while everyone else has to take like 7-8 lol</p>
<p>i haven’t been on CC in such a long time, namely because i have been super busy!! stupid AP classes require so much busy work. also, i have PSATs wednesday 
i took four practice exams and my scores are less than ideal.</p>
<p>I want to take 4 or 5 next year but I feel like that might be too much. My main problem is basically the busy work.</p>
<p>@Catsby Same! It’s been like forever since I’ve been on CC.</p>
<p>I want to take:
AP French
AP Calc AB or BC
AP Bio
AP English
AP World
Photo/band
Maybe another AP class…</p>
<p>@letmeseetheworld - I actually have less homework in my AP classes…more content, yes, but no annoying worksheets or questions I have for my other classes. In my AP World class, the only homework we ever have is to study, textbook outlines (usually due within a week), and occasionally a reading that we have to annotate, due the next day. In AP Stats, we don’t even take notes (on the first day, the teacher told us not to…). 
We only have to do questions from the textbook due at the end of the unit, practice quizzes, and pay attention in class. The only downside is that you aren’t guaranteed 100s on the tests like you are in non-AP classes. Which APs are you taking this year?</p>
<p>I just find my honors/non-AP classes so tedious and boring now. There’s so much busywork and I feel like I’m not getting anything out by just sitting in class. ):</p>
<p>My desired schedule:</p>
<p>Advanced Band
French III
IB History of the Americas
IB Chemistry or IB Physics
IB English HL Yr. 1
IB Math HL Yr. 1</p>
<p>Need to schedule 8 credits…
Junior
- comm lit 3 honors (1)
- French 4 (1)
-trig (1) - ap gov (1)
-Econ (.5)
-chem 2 (1.5)
-accounting 2 (.5) - bio 2 (1.5) or…anatomy and physiology (1) and psych 1 (.5) not sure if we are allowed to take anatomy junior yr.</p>
<p>Senior
-ap lang (1)
-calc (1)
- stats (1)
- French 5 (1)
- sociology? (.5)
- either bio 2 (1.5) or anatomy (1) and psych 1 (.5)
- maybe physics 2 (1)
- psych 2? (.5)</p>
<h2>- office helper or gym.</h2>
<p>That’s the best I can do not great but whatever.</p>
<p>Question is we need to take gym on semester each junior and senior years. However, we can choose to independent study gym for the scheduling of a core class. We need 64 hrs of a sport. Should I do that? I’m on the track team I “throw” because I don’t like running and I dislike gym. A lot. Got an A-. I kind of hate track though. Not sure if it’s worth it or if they would allow it. What do you think?</p>
