Freshman Year I had a 3.1 uw and a 3.25 w and with 10 classes. Currently as a Sophomore I will end up bringing my cumulative GPA to 3.29 uw and 3.44 w and that is with 17 classes combining Freshman and Sophomore Year. How many classes would be reasonable to take Junior Year for my gpa, which is on an upward trend. My key classes Junior Year will be AP Pysch, Honor Chem, and Honor Pre Calc with everything else regular. Based on my schedule I will have either 8 or 9 classes scheduled for Junior Year. Should I schedule 8 or 9 classes? What would be a smart move for someone who is trying to get his GPA as high as possible?
