try honors classes! they'll look great on your apps and are typically at least in my experience more easier and more rewarding than regular classes. im also curious, does your school offer the advanced medical careers, cna, and medical terminology classes or are you doing them through a program online or outside resource? i'm interested haha

My school offers them through the career academy linked to the community college.

If your school offers honors classes, try them. Perhaps also playing sports will be beneficial.

This is really good!! A lot of other people said to take honors classes, but I know at my school they don’t offer them so don’t worry too much about that if yours is the same. You seem really busy already, but if you can fit more into your schedule maybe try some kind of extra curricular, like joining a school club or a sport!

Are the classes you're taking honors? If not, I would suggest switching the honor classes. I made the mistake of taking standard Spanish I which brought my GPA down. I'm ranked below my friend, who made A's and B's (I made all A's), just because she takes more honor classes than me. Taking honor classes will also show colleges that you can handle rigorous work. Remember to include good extracurriculars such as volunteering, getting a leadership position in clubs, etc.

I haven't taken any honors classes but are AP classes still acceptable or should I switch to just honors classes?

@liv.luv.life2 years ago

AP classes are better than honor classes. They weigh more. I'm talking about your chemistry, spanish, and algebra classes. I would recommend taking the honor versions of these classes to go along with your AP classes. This will show colleges that you can handle rigorous coursework. Honor versions of these classes aren't that much harder than the standard version. At least at my school. You can ask around at yours. Just remember, honor classes+AP classes is better than standard classes+AP classes
