Scheduling dilemma / Self-study AP?

@Groundwork2022 It’s a long story. I signed up for Honors American Studies, which is a humanities cohort of English and history because I was taking AP Chem, and taking APUSH+AP Lang+AP Chem is not advised at my school. Right around the registration deadline, I realized that I actually wanted to take APUSH and AP Lang instead of AP Chem because I could take chem senior year.

By the time I asked for the change, registration had closed. I have been talking with the department heads and my counselor since April about this. My parents have gotten involved, but at a certain point, there’s not much I can do.

It is definitely my fault that I didn’t register for APUSH and AP Lang first. I have exhausted all my options available to me, so the only thing I can do is find ways to remain academically competitive.

So to be clear, the reason you are not taking the APs that you want isn’t because of high school scheduling issues, but rather that you made the request too late and they refused to bend the rules to accommodate you. So much for having your GC explain it in your app. I don’t know why a school would have such strict rules about scheduling, but if that’s the rules they use for everyone then you should have been aware made the request on time.

It seems like you are just going to have to go ahead with what you have and next year make sure you register for the courses that want by the deadline.
