Is the schedule for my senior year going to be too much?

Question

I really want to get into NYU. I'm going to be a sophmore this year, and for my freshman year, I took biology, English, Spanish 2, geometry, choir, world geography (required), and PE (required), and was one of the top grades in half of them, even though I slacked a lot (I did about 10 minutes of homework each night).

I expect to work a lot harder for my next three years, but I'm not sure if my course/other activities will be too stressful. By my senior year, I expect to be in:

AP English

AP Environmental Science

AP Statistics

AP Economics

Concert Choir (third highest choir)

AP Studio Art

Leadership

And also:

President of my SSA group

President of the key club (community service club)

Officer in CSF (more community service)

Redcross YES team (and more)

National Honors Society

Photo Club

Answer 1

Maybe...AP is lookin  at 1-2 hours of HW a night..per class...more than 10 min eh? So you're looking at 5-10 of hw a night...have fun..but if you can handle stress and a big work load..go for it.

Answer 2

Personally, yes, I think that's a lot. However, if you're planning to go to NYU, which is a prestigious school, taking all those APs and extracurriculers will definitely pay off in terms of your chances of getting accepted there.

When/if you have free time in school, try and get a head start on your homework then so you'll have more time for studying and relaxing when you get home.

Answer 3

Me being a senior this year as well I am taking mostly easy classes, I am only taking hard classes in I class I really enjoy or a subject I am very good at. I am just trying to having a relaxing year despite all these college applications I have to do.
