    Default Need help :p...

    Well, lemee start off by saying... It's not very dramatic lol. However, it's still a hard decision I have to make ... And I need this "family" of mine's help! So... Been doing high school... Going well... Hard classes, but easily manageable and I can even play PL xD!!!

    I need to choose which classes to take... I've already got this for sophomore year:

    Ap Biology
    Spanish 3+
    Advanced placement Math (2 years of math in 1 - School lets you do up to Calc 2... I'd be doing trig and Alg2 in one year)

    If those were the only hard classes I'd be taking... I'd laugh my *** off and say sophomore year come at me! Sadly, that's not the case :/.. I've had experience with AP courses... Doing one as a freshman booyah! They're difficult, but again, I can still manage time. Bad news is... That's only 1 AP lol. My dean says she stronglyyyy recommends taking 2 AP's next year, and only 2... Problem is...

    I'm planning:
    AP Biology
    AP Language and Composition
    AP US History

    I just had a talk with my English teacher and she really wants me to do AP Lang/Comp... I also want to do AP USH though ... Tell me what you guys think!

    APUSH or AP LANG/COMP? Maybe... Both? If I'm taking 3 AP's, good bye PL lol xD!

    P.S.
    Parth, I know we already had a discussion about this, but my dean and my teacher >_>... Yeah...

    If practice makes perfect and perfection is impossible, why practice?
    Oh, wait... No need to practice. iHax.

    2-3 APs are the way to go.

    If you can take on four while still maintaining a healthy extracurricular schedule & still do the things you enjoy in life (PL, eating rice, etc) then go for it.

    I'd recommend AP Bio and AP Lang, as they'd be most applicable in college. APUSH is just nice for familiarizing yourself with your country's origins.

    Language Comp > History (unless you plan on being a historian of some sorts.) Parth said it best, tho: Make time for extracurricular activities and family time and you will be fine. It is good to strive to be your best, but remember you only have one childhood.

    AP Comp and AP USH shouldn't be too difficult, just lots of writing. If you have lots to say, it shouldn't be a problem.

    AP Bio and AP Alg2/Trig could be difficult, depending on your math skills. If you're generally comfortable in math, they shouldn't be difficult. The bio labs might be time consumers if you have lots of clubs at the same time. AP Calc2 should be more interesting.

    No AP languages? Do an AP language too.

    If you do these all with your friends, it goes by pretty fast.

    I'm planning on doing AP Spanish by Junior year... Or at least I hope. Math is easy for me... Never study lol xD! Asian meh! I'm planning to do some extra-curriculars... And gotta go for being the "leader" of those groups for those colleges to even recognize me.

    I live in Minnesota if that helps... Our school has like... A schedule for us. Of course you don't have to follow it, but you better be world's most persuasive person for them to let you go beyond. I'm taking the hardest classes right now, and the max GPA for a freshman is 4.17. I have a 4.11 because of an A- !!!!! I've been asking my smartest friends and... Well... I'm kinda top >_>... Honors aren't weighted, which is why I can't get close to the 5. And remember... Ap credits and GPA aren't the only thing they look for... As Parfee told me !

    Max AP's they'll let you take:
    1 each semester in Freshman
    3 for each semester in Sophomore (Only 2-3 kids ever did that in the school... They weren't very "social")
    And juniors and seniors is whatever... If you take like 6 APs, you're probably just overloading yourself or going with the easy APs like AP Psychology/AP Art etc.

    Yeah, money can't buy childhood ! -tell that to Asian father-
