Too Much work junior year?

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation
1

<p>I’m taking
AP US history
AP stats
AP Chemistry
AP Spanish language
AP English
Math B(2)
Gym–>its mandatory =(
Concert Band
Most likely self studying AP psych and Ap Euro history</p>

<p>I’m worried taking too many AP’s might effect my GPA I’m only at 89.9-90ish now. If I had to drop one I think it’d be stats(I’m not great at math) but at the same time I want to make sure I’m looking well rounded. Is this too much work? Should focus on better grades in less rigorous classes or just do the best I can in the hardest classes I can take?</p>

<p>Drop the self-studies; those are waste of your time (and especially a waste of precious cramming time a week or two before the test). Worry more about your GPA and classes you’re actually taking.</p>

<p>And I remember a friend of mine asking an admissions officer which was better: high grades in easy classes or slightly lower ones in harder classes. The answer: the high grades in the harder classes. ;)</p>

<p>You’re insane. Just be a normal human being. The ivies accept those quite frequently…</p>

<p>junior year is always hard no matter what
(unless you are an underachiever/loser)</p>

<p>Or if you don’t get caught up in the hype. My senior courseload was much more difficult than my junior courseload…</p>

<p>i agree with collegeboss …i remember last year…so stressed…my whole school takes IBDP (there is no AP) and i went against the tide and took 5 APs (and also IB certificate)…so stressing…thank god its over! now im only doing IBC with 5 subjects…</p>
