Senior year course load good enough for elite schools?

<p>KSA
ARABIC
ENGLISH
HISTORY ( civics/economics)
CALCULUS
PHYSICS
PE
FRENCH 3 ( will take it, if mandatory, if not, no thank you.)</p>

<p>Knowing that during senior year I’ll probably take AP’s, SAT, and Subject tests ( physics and idk which one should I take any suggestions? I already took M2, scores aren’t out yet. In any case, I’d like to study astrophysics so which subject test shall I consider taking?) </p>

<p>To sum it up, are those subjects good enough for elite schools expectations? (Yes or no) and any suggestions on subject test? </p>

<p>Thanks, in advance! </p>

<p>Oh and I will, of course, participate in every activities my school conducts; well most of them :stuck_out_tongue: . </p>

<p>The schedule is fine. If you already have math 2, you really only need 1 more SAT Subject test, unless you are applying to a school like Georgetown that requests 3.</p>

<p>Thanks, lad. </p>

<p>Although most colleges only require two (if any) years of a foreign language, the elite ones would probably want you to take at least three. In part, that’s because almost every prestigious secondary school requires at least three years, and more advanced students place into a second-year class as freshmen. My son did not take Spanish as a senior, because he had completed IB/SL-Spanish IV “Intensivo” as a junior. Your situation is probably different, though, if English is your foreign language and you are taking it at a high level. Would you plan to take an additional science or an elective in place of French? Am I correct in interpreting “KSA” to mean that you are a Saudi resident, or is it a class in the History/Culture of Saudi Arabia? Elite American colleges and universities usually state that the foremost requirement for admission is a rigorous curriculum. That does not mean that they want every student to present identical credentials: they will forgive an applicant who decides to take, say, a second foreign language instead of AP Physics. If you drop French, what would you take instead? There are many valid answers to that question, by the way. </p>
