My registration is in six days, and I am not sure of what elective or science to take, so I would love input. I also have the option to take a class during the summer or online, which my counselor recommends but I really don’t want to do. I’m also considering SAT II Subject Tests and how this would affect the college admissions process at a nationally top ranked school.
What will most likely be my junior schedule next year
-AP English Language and Composition
-Pre-Calculus
-AP Physics 1 (is it okay to take without any prior physics AT ALL, senior-dominated, better at algebra than geometry, pretty good at chemistry,likes and is good at math, assuming AP and SAT Bio is easier, but most classmates are taking it, and I want to take a physics course, but think I will score higher on Bio tests )
-Government/Civics (I might get a teacher who I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY DO NOT WANT Counselor suggests taking this online or during summer, but I don’t want to, and I think it’s going to look bad on my transcript, because the class will be directed toward taking the class for the sake of it; I had that teacher in 9th grade for a full year, so my judgment is accurate)
-AP Macroeconomics
-Spanish 3
-Piano 1 (Played piano for seven years, but class will be at my level, I enjoy piano, looking to find more time for piano, popular class–hard to get, what will colleges think; other option is computer programming, interested in it as potential major and as skill, would rather get comp sci out of the way with AP Comp sci if necessary for college, tried coding once, sucked at it, found it boring and tedious, but the teacher is one of my extracurricular advisers, and I can tell he is one of the best teachers at my school, which is reaffirmed by others)
