Here's the breakdown:
I'm entering my junior year, and had what I thought was the perfect schedule:
Consumer Eco
AP Psychology
AP Physics C
Computer Engineering
AP Calculus BC
AP English Language
AP Spanish
Now, the thing is, my parents, who are both PHDs in Physics went nuts when I showed them this, because they had INSISTED that I take AP Chemistry my junior and AP Physics C senior (for science I had AP Bio and AP Physics B last year). The only way I could help them keep their sanity was to somehow fit AP Chemistry in there, but I was not going to give up AP Physics C. So this is how it worked out:
Consumer Eco
AP Chemistry
AP Physics C
Computer Engineering
AP Calculus BC
AP English Language
AP Spanish
Out went Psych and in came Chem. My problem is, this is NOT a very rounded schedule to me. 4 math and science and 2 language classes is not what I want. I mean, it's fine with me, but do you think colleges will look down upon me and I'm simply lacking in Language and History (though I took AP World last year)? What my counselor said before we made the change was "well, this would have made you a well-rounded student." And I actually completely agree with her. What do you think?
And next year, my schedule will be something like this:
AP Lit.
AP US
AP Psych
Adv. Drama
International Problems
Multi-var. Calculus
And some science at my community college because I have taken all the sciences at my school
This actually leans towards the history language side. Do you think colleges will mind me doing this? This is just not normal to me; I think my parents actually hindered me here. Please give me your opinion, and give me your opinion on what colleges will think.
And don't be overcritical on me please. This is what I'm taking and there's no turning back even if I wanted to. Thanks.
