I’m currently a sophomore in high school looking for some advice. My current junior courseload I would like to pursue next year is as follows:
AP Lang
APUSH
AP Research
AP Macro/Micro (1 semester courses)
Honors Physics
For my math credit, I have the option of either Honors Pre Calculus or AP Pre Calculus, which class should I take if I’m currently flying through Algebra II?
For my science credit I’ve already taken Honors Biology and Honors Chemistry, so should I take AP Chemistry or Physics next year?
Side note: I would like to major in something premed like bio or chem
Definitely take Physics junior year, and then AP Bio or AP Chem senior year. Physics is considered a foundational science course that should not be skipped by someone wanting a STEM field in college.
That’s a very heavy schedule.
I would take Honors Physics then choose AP Chem or AP bio as a senior.
Honors v.AP Precalculus- ask your math teacher whether one will prepare you best for AP Calc (AB or BC).
Replace AP Research with level 3 or 4 in a foreign language.
Thank you! I have taken my last years of language online and unfortunately I chose Sign Language. With this in mind it is an online course with only 2 years currently. I’m almost finished with ASL 2 and my teacher said it is likely there will be a 3rd year which I’m on the lookout for.
It may mean you’ll have to take 2 or 3 semesters of a foreign language in college (most colleges have a foreign language requirement for graduation and may not offer ASL. They generally offer lots of
choices.)
If level 3 is not offered, you won’t be penalized for admission, but you’ll have to make sure your GC includes that info in their recommendation.
