<p>Junior:
Spanish 3
AP Psychology
College Algebra
AP English Lang
AP Biology

<p>I wouldn’t call AICE equivalent to AP… I took thinking skills and sociology, and they’re definitely easier than APs. I’d give it a 9-9.5, mainly because of the number of APs as well as number of classes. @ModernAge‌ </p>

<p>Sophmore:
AP Biology
AICE Biology (must take with AP Bio)
AP Seminar paired with AICE Environmental Management
AP Calculus BC
AP World History
AICE English Language (sadly the highest level of english for sophomores…)
Spanish 3 Honors or AP Computer Science
Most likely self-studying for AP Japanese (native speaker) </p>

<p>Junior:
AP Chemistry
AICE Chemistry (must take with AP Chem)
DE Multivariable Calc or Linear Alg
AP USH
AP English Lang
AP Stats
AP Computer Sci (if not taken Sophomore yr) or AICE Spanish or AP Psych </p>

<p>Not a native Spanish speaker
Will be doing 2 varsity sports (definitely captain for one of them)
Officer for at least one club
Volunteer Hrs: 110 (freshman year, summer not included) </p>

<p>And does this seem like a good schedule if I am aiming for ivies or equivalent schools (like MIT)? </p>

<p>@NYHope‌, I don’t really rate, as much as provide criticisms and ways to improve (I hope that’s the real point of doing this, and not some egomaniacal boost)</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Why are you in Spanish 3 as a Junior? AFAIK most people start in Spanish 2 as freshmen and move up from there. Will you still be able to reach AP Spanish? It’s important that you do so, since you’ll otherwise have to do language classes at most colleges</p></li>
<li><p>Is College Algebra equal to Linear Algebra?</p></li>
<li><p>Have you done AP English Lit already? I find it to be a better course for seniors in terms of life skills that it provides</p></li>
<li><p>Why not APUSH? You already have a very strenous schedule, but it the difference between US History and APUSH that great? APUSH can net thousands of dollars for you in terms of credit; perhaps you may want to take the step up if the rigour doesn’t increase much between the two</p></li>
<li><p>What level of rigour is Finance and Humanities? If it is a CP/sub-Honors class, I’d only recommend it if you are pursuing an interest</p></li>
<li><p>What kind of class is Humanities? What will you be studying?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>@Apollo11. </p>

<p>I moved to a new high school freshman year and they wouldn’t let me start a foreign language in middle school :frowning: i won’t be able to take AP Spanish because I’ll have to take Spanish 4.</p>

<p>No college algebra is the lower class than pre-calculus, it’s taken by average math students. </p>

<p>No AP Lit is for seniors and AP Lang is for juniors. </p>

<p>I was going to take APUSH but at my school it’s incredibly hard and the teacher is incredibly biased. I also hate US History</p>

<p>Finance and Humanities are incredibly easy, I have to take them to graduate </p>

<p>10… (to the last schedule…Dang BC in 10th grade? I know smart people taking AB in 12th)</p>

<p>Junior Year Schedule:
AP Chemistry
APUSH
AP Physics 1
PE2 / AP CompGov (Semester Courses)
AP Calc BC
AP Eng Lang</p>

<p>^7/10, no foreign language? </p>

<p>@Zeppelin7‌

physics 1 ap
psychology ap
apush (might drop)
eng lng ap (??? drop???)
elective
elective</p>

AICE Math
AICE General Paper
AP Environmental Science
AICE Marine Science
AICE Thinking Skills 1 and 2
AICE Art and Design

(I earned all As in all of my classes, including As on my semester exams. I think I passed all of my AP and AICE exams with the highest marks. Hoping for a perfect score on AICE Math.)</p>

<p>Sophomore (anticipated):
AP Biology
AICE Biology (must take with AP Bio)
AP Seminar paired with AICE Environmental Management
AP Calculus BC

<p>Not a native Spanish speaker
Did and will be doing 2 varsity sports (definitely captain for one of them starting sophomore year)
Officer for at least one club starting sophomore year
I will do anything it takes to earn the highest grades possible… I work very hard and am hoping for a 4.0 or close to 4.0 GPA.
Will be joining a nationally ranked Science Olympiad team starting next year.</p>

<p>Freshmen Year Accomplishments:
Qualified up to Regionals individually for XC and track
Earned varsity letter for XC and track
Earned Most Outstanding Performance award for XC
Volunteer Hrs: 110 (freshman year, summer not included)
Was selected to attend a science camp at a university
Earned academic excellence award for 5 classes
Earned dedicated member award for Key Club
Attended district and zone conference for Key Club
(those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head)</p>

<p>Does this seem like a good schedule if I am aiming for ivies or equivalent schools (like MIT)?
And I know that being selected to attend some of the nation’s top universities requires beyond good grades and good classes… All I want to know is if my schedule is difficult enough/challenging enough to compete with the future attendees of those schools. I am also planning on majoring in something math-related.</p>

<p>@scholarathletexc I think you have a pretty good shot! It looks quite rigorous to me so keep up the good work!</p>

Junior year: maybe cross country, physics club, science olympiad</p>

<p>Bubba: that definitely looks rigorous for ivies. How does an above 4.0 UW gpa work?</p>

<p>2016: Looks good to me, of course some will ask why not APUSH or English. But, to me, it’s heavy in science and math. But, I’m only going into 9th, so what do I know.</p>

<p>Big who that looks good, is there no honors geometry? I kinda suck at the humanities but senior year I’m gonna try taking AP gov and AP Econ, probably not AP English but we’ll see. I wanna get into Really good science and math schools like MIT and I wonder if that schedule is good enough.</p>

<ol>
<li> Math is not my strong point. I’m not destined for MIT.<br></li>
</ol>

<p>Your schedule looks good for MIT to me. I know someone who got in with less APs than your taking. </p>

<p>@bigwho‌ Oooooh. I love your electives. I think it’s great that you’re taking the opportunity to learn Russian, and that you’ll be spending time to pursue graphic design and photography. 9/10. In the end, high school is all about finding interests and seeing where they can take us. ^_^</p>
