That’s what the British said before WWII. How’d that turn out? </p>

<p>Schedule B: </p>

<p>Same thing as schedule A but taking out 2 periods (probably AP Stats and Lunch) for a Computer Science College Institute course (go to a college nearby for periods 2-3 and take a CS course) </p>

<p>*My school’s programming courses are really good (University of MD puts a recommendation letter in your college apps I think) </p>

<p>Time to get this thread back up to the top =P</p>

<p>@Kawaiiii‌ : Junior year everyone takes some form of Precalc, so this would be Honors Precalc.
And my school doesn’t offer Honors Lang after 10th Grade, just AP Lang, which has a bad reputation at my school.</p>

<p>8/10 on your schedule
It’s kinda hard to rate cause I don’t know if your school is just using unconventional names or if those classes don’t exist: “AP Programming” & <em>AP Programming 2</em> don’t exist afaik unless you mean CompSci.</p>

<p>And the weird electives, but since you say they’re good, I’ll take your word for it</p>

<p>Too lazy to post the other three years haha, so current year (junior year)
AP Stats
AP Calc AB (no BC in school + conflict in testing)
APUSH
Honors Physics
AP English Language
Honors French
AP Chem! </p>

<p>@TheAtlantic‌ </p>

<p>Yea, I think AP Programming 2 is AP CompSci </p>

<p>@rollingduck‌ </p>

<p>8.5/10, which level of French are you taking? </p>

<p>@Rolling duck I would say 8.5 out of 10. Pretty good. :slight_smile: You might want to consider taking AP Physics if it is offered</p>

<p>High School credits:
Algebra I (7th grade)
Geometry (8th grade)</p>

<p>Freshman Year (last year): (Freshmen were not allowed to double up or take AP courses and all of our classes were set in stone :/)</p>

<p>Earth/Environ Honors
Orchestra II (semester 1)
World History Honors
Music Appreciation
English I Honors
Orchestra II (semester 2)
PE/Health
Algebra II Honors.</p>

<p>Sophomore Year (current): (Sophomores can only do two APs)
Writer’s Workshop (Humanities required at school)
AP Human Geo
AP Language/Comp
Chemistry I Honors
Civics/Gov Honors
Bio I Honors
Japanese I
Precal Honors</p>

<p>Junior year (next year proposed): (Schedule is 7 blocks)
AP Calculus AB (would BC be better even if I don’t plan on a science or math major?)
Honors English III (I took AP Lang this year so this is the best possible)
AP Physics 1
AP USH
AP World
Japanese II
SAT Prep/ Sociology/ AP Euro/AP Art History/ (which one would you recommend?). Is 4 APs too much or 5? Also would colleges prefer to see that I have more electives that show passion or will they prefer hard classes more?</p>

<p>Please keep in mind the stipulation of my school policies when rating :/</p>

<p>@samuraiman26‌ </p>

<p>Freshman Year: 7.5/10 </p>

<p>Sophomore Year: 8/10</p>

<p>Junior Year: 8.5/10</p>

<p>Colleges prefer to see you have electives that show passion rather than hard classes that you will probably never need again</p>

<p>@samuraiman26‌ </p>

<p>Given that your schedule for the first two years is the best one available, i won’t rate it, but your schedule for junior year is 9/10</p>

<p>^ur supposed to give a rating and a grade.</p>

<p>@ tomax don’t do that with your senior year, it looks fluffy to adcoms.</p>

<p>@wcao9311‌ </p>

<p>You too </p>

<p>@TheGateria‌ </p>

<p>8.5/10</p>

<p>@kawaiiii I’m not posting a schedule though.</p>

<p>@wcao9311‌ </p>

<p>Doesn’t hurt to rate though</p>

<p>@kawaii need year to give context. Junior?</p>

<p>@wcao9311‌ </p>

<p>I assumed he was most likely a Junior because of AP Lang, I may be wrong though.</p>

<p>@wcao9311‌ What do you mean by fluffy?</p>

<p>@thegateria</p>

<p>9/10 That might be a ton of hw though…</p>

<p>@tomatox1 I can’t speak for him but I guess what he means is that you filled your schedule with APs but 3/4 of the 5 of them are known to be the APs that are a joke and counselors from top schools probably won’t fall for the guise.
That especially looks bad when the APs your Junior year are more demanding than 4 of those 5.</p>

<p>But again I don’t know but that is what I think looking at it.</p>
