schedule hard enough?

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation
1

<p>freshman: doesn’t matter, no APs/honors offered. Took Accelerated Bio, everything else had to be regular.</p>

<p>soph: AP Euro, Honors Chem, Adv. Alg 2, Adv. English, French 3, Symphonic Band, PE</p>

<p>Junior: AP Chem, APUSH, AP Lang, Honors Precalc, Honors Physics, Symphonic Band, Robotics</p>

<p>senior: AP Calc AB, AP Comparative Politics, AP Physics B, AP Music Theory, AP Economics, Symphonic Band, English</p>

<p>Would you say this is adequate for top 30 schools? By the way, honors classes are weighted like APs and the only wo weighted classes availible to me sophomore year were Euro and Chem. I have gotten/probably will get (presumptuous I know) As in all.</p>

<p>I think it looks pretty good. Nothing special though, just get good grades and work on standardized tests and you will be in the “game.” And for top 30 are you including Michigan and schools like that?</p>

3

<p>the game…</p>

4

<p>Nope, not hard at all.</p>

<p>You need all of these, a 2400, and you need to have cured AIDS in order to have a shot.</p>

<p>How is he supposed to have taken Comp Sci AB and French Lit? They’re gone now. Ah well, I guess he’s simply not making it.</p>

<p>^
I lost it.</p>

<p>Sorry to bump this.</p>

<p>As for Shizzle’s question, I am basing top 30 off of US World News rankings. However, the most realistically appealing schools to me are top UCs. </p>

<p>Additionally, I have in fact gotten all As junior year. </p>

<p>Also, as additional information, the reason I could not take more than 3 APs junior year was because of sheer incompetance in the counseling office. I was assured I would get the original 5 I signed up for, got it cut to 4, then 3. </p>

<p>It just does not seem fair that I was willing to take a greater challenge (perceived only; honors physics was legitimately AP Physics without the calculus requirement at our school and honors trig was constructed to be what our teacher thought “AP Precalculus” would be like), but in the end will get penalized by adcoms for going 3 AP and 2 honors my junior year because the administration could not get its facts straight.</p>

<p>Is this as big of a deal as I’m making it out to be? Thanks for any further input.</p>

8

<p>^wait, convince who of what?</p>

9

<p>ok let me put the question in a more succinct way:</p>

<p>I have 9 total APs over the course of high school, along with 3 honors and a community college course.</p>

<p>The thing is, the bulk of the APs are being taken senior year, while most people at my school bulk up junior year. </p>

<p>Will this have much negative bearing?</p>

<p>I honestly don’t see how your schedule will have any ‘negative bearing’ at all.</p>
