<p>We don’t have AP classes at our school. We have 500 courses which don’t get the 5.0 GPA, but are the same thing as AP.</p>
<p>@tigerman333 1 B in an AP class, sophomore year, doesn’t have the power to ruin any dreams… </p>
<p>@iamnotironman my school has a smilar grading scale but with us a 93-100 is an A and a 90-93 is an A- and you don’t get the full 4.0 when your grade is in that spectrum</p>
<p>Lol. I was being sarcastic. I actually have to Bs though. I got one last year in honors English </p>
<p>Got a 177 on the PSAT. Very surprising that I’m apparently in the >90th percentile with that score. </p>
<p>Funnily enough, my highest score was in critical reading. </p>
<p>I think it’s really funny that I got a 65 in all 3 sections (195) I made two dumb mistakes in math… :(( </p>
<p>Oh, and hey everyone I was wondering what you guys are all planning on taking next(junior) year?
I think this is about what my schedule will be:
Reilgion (catholic school)
Precalculus Honors
AP English language
AP Spanish language
AP physics 1
AP us history
AP statistics (flvs because not offered at school)
Do you guys think its too much? My piano teacher thinks it’s too much (her son went to bowdoin) </p>
<p>It doesn’t seem like too much if you don’t have any time-consuming ECs but you probably do.</p>
<p>It’ll be a lot of work but I bet you’ll be grateful in the end. Am I right?</p>
<p>Yeah! I run track and cross country and have piano an hour a day(my most time consuming ECs) but you are right! These are classes I’m really into anyways so as long as the workllad isn’t too bad it’ll be fine</p>
<p>@Calchong you have 6 real classes and one of them’s online. You’ll be fine. </p>
<p>I’ll be taking:</p>
<p>AP Physics C: Mechanics (First Sem.) * Double Period
AP Physics C: E&M (Second Sem.) * Double Period
AP Calc AB or BC (idk)
AP Economics: Micro (First Sem.)
AP Economics: Macro (Second Sem.)
AP Language and Composition
AP Computer Science
Honors World History (I didn’t want to kill myself so I took Honors instead of AP).</p>
<p>Next year I’m planning to take:
Programming 1 and 2 (each is a semester course)
Anatomy and Physiology
AP Chemistry
Either Precalulus Honors or AP Calculus BC: it depends on if I can flex credit precalc honors over the summer.
AP Spanish Language or AP Spanish Literature: I still need to decide whichh one I want to do.
AP US History
English 11 Honors</p>
<p>Of course, this assumes that my teachers recommend me for these classes.</p>
<p>Does this seem like too much, if I have extracurriculars that take up two to three hours Monday through Friday?</p>
<p>@Faultystart it doesn’t seem too bad; APUSH and Chem will take time, but you should be able to manage. </p>
<p>I’m taking:
H. English 11
AP Calculus BC
AP Environmental Science
AP Physics 1
Journalism (if I get in) or Spanish 4
US History (hahaha not taking APUSH for the life of me–my school’s course is notorious; however, if I get the APUSH teacher for regular US History and can’t switch teachers, I’ll switch to APUSH because there’s no difference).
Marching Band (1st semester only; it’s an optional seventh period that’s 2-3 hours afterschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I might continue with Winterguard second semester, though, which is the same timings (although always 3 hours)). </p>
<p>Our Journalism course is our school newspaper (which is award-winning); it’s really hard to get in, but I think my main obstacle is going to be the interview (which I bombed last year, therefore ruining my chances of getting in). It’ll mean I have as much homework for that class as an AP. Sadly, no AP Lang is offered at my school; but H. English 11 is UC weighted (which not many honors courses are–at my school, it’s only H. English 11 and H. Precalculus). </p>
<p>My guidance counselor’s only consolation when I told her my plan (especially the two sciences thing–all the AP sciences, including APES, are equivalent in difficulty at my school) was that I’m not taking APUSH xD. I’d love to take it, but I don’t want 40 pages of notes a night. </p>

<p>Hey sophomores. I’m a Junior, and I thought I’d pop in to introduce you guys to HOBY Leadership Seminars. Google it. It’s really amazing. Honestly, words cannot describe how fun and great the program is. It’s very cheap (usually your school will pay, but mine didn’t) and it’s all over the country, so you can go to your nearest one. </p>
<p>Even if you have something else going on over the summer, this program is just 3 days at the start of summer. I highly recommend it. You make friends with people who you will be in contact with probably forever.</p>
<p>My school didnt give us back our PSAT scores yet…I finished the semester w/ a 3.4 GPA. I have a serious uphill climb over the next few semesters. </p>
