<p>Is it terrible that I’m not planning to take a science class in senior year? Science is my least favorite subject and I don’t think it’s too important for my intended major(s) in college (English Education and Film/Screenwriting). I thought it over and I could switch my schedules for junior and senior year to this (since it’s not regular for students at my school to take APUSH anyway):</p>

<p>(By the way, it’s required at my school to take a Biology class, a Chemistry class and then either Earth Science, Earth Science Honors or AP Environmental Science).</p>
<p>Which would be better schedules for junior and senior year? Also, what do you think of my projected schedules in general?</p>
<p>Don’t take this the wrong way, but I don’t think projected schedules are the best idea. You’re clearly a good student and taking rigorous classes, but things always always always change. I mentioned this exact thing in another thread. There were classes I planned to take that didn’t get enough interest from other students, or I heard the teacher was hard, or it didn’t work with my schedule. As a sophomore I definitely wasn’t aspiring to the Ivies or other top tier schools either, then I did a complete 180 junior year and realized that I could aspire higher than I was. I wish I hadn’t dropped out of honors chemistry and I wish I had taken more math and science classes - I stayed away from them because they weren’t relevant to my intended Foreign Affairs major, but now I want to do something in engineering and certainly didn’t do myself any favors in that dept. Anyway, this is getting long and sorry for ranting haha. You’re schedule looks good, but please don’t limit yourself or close doors to other majors/things for what you think you want now.</p>
<p>I completely agree that projected schedules shouldn’t be the end all be all, though I do think it’s important to have a pretty good picture of what types of classes you want to take in the future so you can plan each year accordingly. I know my schedule is subject to change and I’m fine with that. However, as of now, these are the classes I’d be most interested in taking. I’ll feel free to change them if something happens. (The classes I plan on taking are chosen because of the teacher and how interested I am in them, but if something changes, like a good teacher quits, I’ll obviously take that into account).</p>
<p>Just a few months ago, I thought I would wait to be on the newspaper staff until junior year but after my Communications teacher recommended me and the newspaper staff came to recruit me, I changed my mind. I totally get what you’re saying so don’t worry that I’ll stick to this rigid idea for the future if I don’t think it’s in my best interests.</p>
<p>Also, I don’t think my sights are so low. I’m interested in universities like NYU, Emerson and UCLA though the more practical, affordable options in-state that I’d be happy to attend are schools like University of North Carolina at Wilmington and Appalachian State University.</p>
<p>@tigerman that sounds like a pretty good schedule. Good luck! I’m anxious for school to start!</p>
<p>Anyone have any thoughts on if I should take Physics or take APUSH and not have a science senior year? (Of course, it’s projected projected projected).</p>
