<p>at my school (a 2 semester, 6 class each semester school), all freshmen have to take some form of biology (regular or honors), an english (reg or hon) and a certain math that depends on how good you are. if i could, i would’ve not taken PE and done honors chem also, but i can’t. and my school doesnt offer honors physics. its only regular physics and the two AP’s</p>
<p>The fact that you even have a four-year plan tells me you are going to be in the ballpark. You are also going to die trying to take all those APs and get A’s in most of them.</p>
<p>In the end, if you have the test scores, the grades, and a fair amount of ECs, it will be the teacher recs and the essays that count anyway. Don’t worry about taking as many APs as possible, as long as you are taking enough for your courseload to be considered very rigorous.</p>
<p>Nerdy jew, i say good luck but, remember colleges will just see you as the stereotypical smart jew.</p>

<p>@daxlo5, </p>
<p>what’s wrong if he is a stereotypical jew? Marc Zuckerberg, Sergery brin and others were also typical nerdy jews, and if a college wouldn’t want that type of person, I doubt ‘thenerdyjew’ would want to be in that college either.</p>
<p>Colleges like University of Chicago, Brown, princeton, Carnegie Mellon, Cooper Union, Cal-Tech and MIT thrive on nerds.</p>

<p>This is going to go as well as Stalin’s five year plan.</p>
<p>don’t kill yourself with all these APs if your not interested in them because thats not all colleges look for. I’ll admit that in 9th grade I also planned out my next three years, sadly I didnt get into all of the classes due to cuts. And its true that you should plan ahead to make sure you have prerequistes. but honestly you should give yourself a break. If you took half those APs you would still be in good shape. You’re going to have no time to spend with friends our have any down time. You may think you can handle them now, and who knows, you might all 5s on your exams. However, you might regret it later in life when you realized you might have missed out on other things. As for getting into a good college, I mean seriously do you really have to ask? You’ll get into tons of good colleges, and who cares if you dont get into an ivy, theres so many great colleges that you may be overlooking.</p>
<p>If you crash and burn taking all of those AP’s, your entire plan will be ruined. Try some more realistic course loads.</p>
<p>Yeah, extremely rigorous.</p>
<p>Now all you need are the recs and the extracurri- wait. You won’t have time for those.</p>
<p>Top colleges love it when you challenge yourself, but not to the point where you can’t do anything else. :/</p>
<p>Please be aware of the fact that top schools already have a myriad of students like you, taking a lot of AP classes and scoring high. If that was all it took, then there would be no diversity between schools.
Some schools also like to see a “fit” - so keep that in mind.</p>
<p>“I don’t think I could learn a language just for the AP Exam, nor that I would want to” - admissions officers are probably going to see you taking all of these AP classes just for the sake of an AP class.</p>
<p>How do you know you’ll be able to get a 2350 + on the SATs? You also can’t guarantee that you’ll get officer positions, or that, by taking all of these classes, you won’t have some sort of mental breakdown during junior year, resulting in less than a 4.0.</p>
<p>You’re trying to balance being involved with school to the point of easily five hours of homework a night, paired with ECs.</p>
<p>Obviously, you’re smart, though please remember that people who try to do everything usually get burned out and feel like doing nothing.</p>
<p>You also can’t bank on having good recs. Or an awesome interview.</p>
<p>You should self-study Psych, Macro, and Micro for sure. If you’re gonna be an engineer, you should try Comp Sci and Physics B. I’ve heard Human Geo is easy.</p>
<p>The only other things you should consider:
*Take community college courses over the summers if they count as weighted classes on your high school transcript. Either way, it shows more dedication and possibly more focus on your major if you pick certain classes. If you’re busy over the summer, take online courses.
*Start a club.</p>
<p>But remember, if you can’t do these things without getting a 4.6+ GPA, 2300+ on your SAT I, mostly 780-800s on your SAT IIs, and all 5s on your APs, it’s not worth it. The only exception to this rule is if you’re AMAZING at one thing, which it doesn’t seem like you are. So you need well-roundedness.</p>
<p>You’re going to hit the soph wall HARD.</p>
<p>And no English in 10th?</p>
