  2. HONORS CHEM.
  3. ALGEBRA 3-4
  4. PRE-CALC./TRIG.
  5. HEALTH OCCUPATION HONORS
  6. AP U.S. HISTORY
  7. SPANISH 3-4</p>

<p>By any means is this a good course load for a student wishing to apply for the Ivies?

<p>Depends. Do you think your schedule is the most difficult that your school will allow you to take?</p>

<p>My schedule…
1)AP English
2)AP Chem
3)AP Chem Lab
4)Math B2 (its a NY thing)
5)VB Programing
6)Lunch
7)Spanish 4R (4R= 4th year regents a NY thingagain)
8)Gym

<p>That is in no order… just the courses i will be taking… S2= second half of the year… I might drop AP Chem because 3 AP’s come winter durning wrestling season may prove to be a little much for me…
I am not aspiring to go to any Ivies or any very very high ranked school… im fine with an average University/College… such as Champlain, RIT and other colleges/universities that have Infosec majors</p>

<p>Yup, It’s the toughest possible.</p>

<p>I go to a competitive Jewish private school, so we have religious classes. Also, in my school the application/essay process for AP and Honors classes is pretty tough. Getting into APUSH is a big deal and not falling out of Honors (no AP) math and science is also a big achievment. Our school’s regular classes are considered really hard by public school standards. One kid in our school had a 3.09 and when he moved to a “top-flight” private school, he got into all AP classes except for Spanish (Honors). He now has a 3.7 or so unweighted and a 4.0+ weighted.</p>

<p>That being said:

  1. AP British Literature (English) – Only kid who got in who wasn’t in the AP English class this past year.
  2. Honors American History
  3. Pre-Calc (Hopefully I’ll get a rec from my sophomore math and science teachers, as I was in the top two of both of those classes - A+ in ALG2 and A in Chem, but they don’t tell you until soon before school starts this way you don’t complain)
  4. Physics
  5. Spanish 4
  6. Hebrew 11
  7. Tanakh (Study of Torah, the writings of Prophets, and other texts)
  8. Rabbinics (Study of Jewish law in the Talmud)
  9. Health (lol)</p>
