Is my schedule rigorous enough for a junior?

Relax. Your schedule is plenty rigorous. You’re enrolled in all honors and AP classes with the exception of one. Don’t take Chemistry just because the guidance counselor said it’s the hardest honors science class. Whether you take honors bio, chem or physics, is not going to determine the outcome of your college application. In my daughter’s school, they have a policy that says students may take a maximum of 4 high level courses; the other 2 or 3 courses must be standard level. Every year her school sends kids to University of Chicago and Cornell etc. My point is you don’t need to stress so much about this. It’s important to take rigorous courses but it’s also important to have a life.
