I’m in my junior year now, and I’m stumped on what classes to take.
Freshman year I took:
-Algebra 1
Modern European History
Biology
Spanish 1
English 9
Sophomore Year I took
Geometry
AP World (5 on exam)
Spanish 2
American Lit
Environmental Science
This Year I’m taking
AP US History
AP Lang
Spanish 3
Chem
Algebra 2
I don’t know what to take next year. I want to go into psychology, and my school offers it, but it’s a class that the dumber kids take- it’s a joke. I want to take 5 classes next year, and I don’t know what to take. I have to take PreCalc. I can either take Spanish 4 or AP. I want to take AP Euro because I’m good at it. I want to take AP Lit because I’m good at it. I want to take AP Bio but my advisor is telling me that Physics is important. I don’t know what to do. I want to take 3 or 4 AP’s because I can handle it but I don’t know what combo to take.
Emory is my top choice and I’m planning on applying ED. Does anyone know what insight they might have? Is that a question I could email my regional rep about?
Do most people at your school take five classes each year? That seems like a low number. Have you fulfilled your graduation requirements in art/music, physical education, etc.?
I would recommend pre-calculus, AP Spanish (assuming you’re prepared), AP European History, AP English Literature, and physics.
Most kids take 5 classes. I go to a small boarding school with 7 periods a day, so with electives it gets full quickly. Graduation requirements are 4 English credits, 3 of all other core subjects. I am smart, I currently have a 3.86 unweighted GPA (All A’s except for AP Lang which is a B+ but I think I raised it to an A-. The thing is, I’m really bad at math, and I’m scared physics will kill me.
Sorry to ask you this, but I think this will help me answer your question. Does your school offer AP Psychology? I’m not sure if you were talking about regular or AP when you brought it up.
