So you are a picking classes for your junior year then?

Do your school offer any AP Classes? I would try to take some APs if your school offers those. Common ones for first time APs are AP Human Geography, AP US History. It's very important to take a couple advanced English classes that will teach you how to write expository essays like AP Lang and AP Lit. I think that's a must.

Otherwise these 4 are solid choices.

Good luck.

Thank you for clarifying. Sometimes you have to creative about your life see if there are any major things you can do to change your odds. Since you do not have perfect grades and the course rigor (meaning the AP or IB classes) that many Harvard and Columbia admits have, I will offer some other suggestions.

I would look into getting accepted into a program like Matriculate and be assigned a college mentor who will help you navigate through the college process.

it depends on what you want to major in as well. obviously, it looks better to have lots of ap and honors, but it's better to take ap/honors in classes that you are interested in and fit with your intended major. So between your four class choices, go with the one that fits with what you want to major in. For example, if you want to go down the pre-med pathway, it would be much better to take chemistry or algebra rather than history or Spanish. Overall, just go with your interests and major!!
