High School Course Advice

Thank you all for the replies!

Regarding Calculus: I was told that calculus (specifically AP calc) would make me a competitive applicant for computer science major. People on this forum previously told me that it is crucial I take calculus in order to be competitive at these schools. Could someone please clarify?

Regarding Foreign Language: I am quite disappointed in this as I assumed that meeting the language requirements of most of these schools was sufficient. Online foreign language is a very tedious and frustrating course. With that said, I will attempt to fast-track it and complete three years; I don’t think it’s a hard course.

Regarding Math Fast-tracking: if I can avoid taking calculus I would be thrilled because I would be able to take AP Stats in grade 12 in place of Calculus (while still taking algebra and precalc) and wouldn’t have to work my ass off just to complete these classes.

Regarding Computer Science: since I am a future computer science major, does anyone have advice for my CS classes in grade 11? I can not take AP CS as algebra is a prerequisite but I could take AP CS Principle, Game Design, or a college computer science class(?).

Regarding Chemistry: chemistry and history are my kryptonite. I hate these classes with such a passion. I would like to manipulate my schedule so that taking the regular version of these courses would be acceptable; if not, I would be willing to take honors. I’ve never taken an honors class. Can someone inform me about how much more difficult this class is? More coursework, more in-depth analysis, harder rubrics, etc.

Regarding Tuition Costs: I am blessed with the majority of my tuition being paid for. Please do not take this into consideration when figuring out my classes!

Thank you so much, everyone! I am from a small town in Canada and never learned about this stuff and my counselor isn’t reliable. I can’t express how much this all means to me!
