To Take or Not to Take... AP's for Senior Year

<p>Hi CCers!
So, as the title implies, what AP’s are fit for senior year?
It’s a dilemma because we don’t know whether the colleges look at the grades, the rigor, or just if you passed or failed.</p>

<p>My own stats are as follows:
Freshman: Honors Chem, Honors Alg. 2
Sophomore: AP World history, AP Biology, Honors English, Honors Math Analysis (dropped, will take this summer)
Junior: AP US History, AP Enviro Sci, AP English Lang, AP Statistics, Honors Span 3, Honors Art (prerequisite for AP Art)</p>

<p>So now, what I HAVE signed up for are
AP Gov, AP Chem, AP Eng Lit, AP Calc, AP Span Lang, and AP Studio Art</p>

<p>Which ones should I sign out of??</p>

<p>OH, and… well…
Personal story, NOT meant to appeal to any pathos, but I was just recently (like a few weeks ago) diagnosed with ADHD.
My GPA currently weighted is 4.318, and unweighted is 4.3
I don’t want to look like I’m a growing addict, but I hope the meds I was put on might help me have better attention during lectures and stay focused better.</p>

<p>My SAT score is 1930.
Breakdown:
Math: 670
CR: 610
Writing: 640</p>

<p>My reach is Occidental College, Reed College, and Lewis and Clark College.
What should I do???</p>

<p>Colleges look at the grades and rigor of the classes you take. Note that depending on when the college’s application deadline is, they may not see the grades for your senior year, but you can still be rejected if you fail to sustain the schedule.</p>

<p>Not really an answer, but how is it possible to have a 4.3 GPA unweighted</p>

<p>

It’s possible if you’re using a non-4.0 scale. Unweighted just means any two classes count the same if they’re worth the same number of credits. </p>

<p>When it comes to picking a class to take yourself out of, it really depends on your interests and what you want to go into in the future. If it was me, I’d get out of AP Studio Art or AP Spanish Lang.</p>
