Advice on my Senior yead schedule?

Question

All my friends are taking 3 or more AP classes next year(senior year). I only have 2. So I dunno if I should bump it up. If I don't, I might have a lot of competition applying to colleges. But also if I don't, I'll have a high GPA, but a slackish transcript on my last year.

I'm planning on joining a lot of after school activities and doing a lot of community service. it. I'm just scared about not taking my usual load. I feel like I'm slacking. But then again, there are only very difficult AP classes left for me to take, physics,chemistry, and psychology. I don't know which to take.

Answer 1

i think 2 would be fine if you are planning on doing community service and after school. from what i know AP classes they have a larger work load then must

Answer 2

I think that's a good schedule and I certainly wouldn't suggest taking another science class such as AP Physics or Chem unless you're into science. You have two science classes already, why add another?

Then again, AP Chem is an interesting class so maybe you'd like that. I don't think you could take AP Physics because at my school the pre-requisites are co-concurrent enrollment in Calculus which you don't seem to be taking(or perhaps you've already taken it?)

I've heard AP Psychology is a fairly easy class so if you don't want to overload yourself but you still want to take another AP class then that might be the best choice. In the end it's up to you to decide. If you like science and you're good at it then I suggest taking AP chem, if you don't like science then I suggest AP Psychology but make sure you're not overloading yourself. There's no point in ruining your GPA senior year just for one extra AP class. Good luck and enjoy your senior year!

Answer 3

You should only take what you feel you can handle. And if you're going to be doing a lot of extra curricular, then it's okay that you only have 2 AP classes!

At my school, the AP Psychology class was easy. I got a 5 on the AP exam!

Answer 4

maybe psychology

i think it's okay to be a little slittle in your senior year

but remember to get good grades and continue your extracurricular activities
