<p>Thispakistanigir-
You are facing scheduling challenges that all Jr’s are. How much can I carry while getting respectable grades and show ‘rigor of study’. I think where you caught people off guard was the term ‘easy classes’. There can be classes that are academic in nature, that you learn, that do not require a great deal of work outside the class. They are not necessarily ‘easy’, but they don’t fight for attention from the other AP classes you are taking.</p>
<p>I would suggest if you are having a hard time deciding, narrow it down to two and call admissions. Ask them which class they feel would be of most value to your education. Remove the word easy from your vocabulary. Any class, given your attitude and/or the instructor can become a thorn in your side.</p>
<p>BTW, your depiction of the Gifted Seminar is a good example. In this situation, you get exactly what you put into it. If you participate in the socratic seminars, use the resource of a regular time to meet with your gifted teacher to work on college essays, etc., it can be a very rewarding class. However, depending on the nature of the class and leeway given students, you could potentially get away with doing a whole lot of nothing. A real waste of resources.</p>
