Hello all, I’m a cc newborn, so if this should be in a different forum, please inform me!
Current Sophomore, first in class (thanks, mum), cripplingly shy but forced to participate for the resumes. Whoo.

So, my school itself kind of sucks. It falls short of almost all state averages. Mleh. Anyhow, I hope to take GAVS* (Georgia Virtual School, strong curriculum) to make up for it. Oh, how I miss Connecticut schools.

Now, I don’t really want for you to chance me, just your opinion on whether this plan is good.

We have a block schedule.

FRESHMAN
Accelerated Algebra I/Geometry A
Advanced Biology
Advanced Literature 9
Healthcare I

Advanced Chemistry
Advanced World History
Physical Education

AP Psychology

SOPHOMORE
Accelerated Geometry B/Algebra II
Latin I*
AP US History A
Advanced Literature 10

Visual Art
Healthcare II
AP US History B
AP Environmental Science

summer vacation – Latin II*...if I'm not forced to study, I'll completely waste two and a half months re-watching Parks & Recreation. :D

JUNIOR
Advanced Literature 11
Accelerated Algebra III/Pre calculus (I’ve heard it’s worse than AP Calc, oh dear)
AP Biology A
Advanced Physics

AP Statistics*
AP Government
AP Biology B

Healthcare III

SENIOR
Latin III*
AP Calculus A
AP Computer Science Principles* (comes out next year, and I’m very interested!)
Advanced Literature 12

AP Macroeconomics
AP Calculus B
AP Human Geography* (ooh, I know it’s supposed to be useless, but the subject is fascinating)

Hospital Rotation (menial, minion work at a small local hospital; but I get to help people! Yay!)

ECs: beta, nhs, fbla, varsity tennis (very likely), art club, possibly debate & graphics, various summer camps
volunteering: children’s hospital (40h), geometry tutoring, library, FISH
SAT IIs: will take Latin, World History, and Literature

I would have taken AP Lit or Lang, but I love reading and writing and don’t want those classes to ruin it for me.
If my school brings back AP Chem, I’ll take that in lieu of AP Comp Sci Prin & H Geo. Duller, but more valuable.

I’m certain I will get it into GA Tech & UGA, Emory and UNC will be a reach, Duke & Yale are impossible, but you never know…and I may apply to UWash, simply because I’ve been to the Pacific NW and British Columbia and adored it.

So, I apologize for the run on sentences, constructive criticism will be much appreciated, have a wonderful day! Allons-y!
