I'm not sure if my classes for senior year is good enough for college Answered
I am taking these classes in my senior year: AP Calc ab, academic English, academic Gov, Intro to CS, and a Cisco course worth 3 DE credits. I feel like these are not good enough classes for me to get accepted to colleges like Purdue, UMD, or VT. My current weighted gpa is 4.18 and I believe my unweighted gpa is around 3.93. I took 3 AP classes, 1 honor, and 2 academic in my junior year. Are my classes good enough for senior year or should I take harder classes. Unfortunately, I can only change my English class out of all of my classes. I can change my academic English to AP lit. Do you guys recommend me to change my English class or keep it the same? Do you guys think my classes are good enough for senior year or no?

Just to clarify my situation, I took 3 APs and 2 honor classes junior year, 2 honors in sophomore year, and 1 honor in freshman year. For senior year though, it's different. I am taking a Cisco course at academies of Loudoun. It counts as 3 credits and takes up a school day. It is also a DE course (same thing as an AP). Cause of the Cisco class, I can only pick 4 classes. I picked AP Calc, AP Gov, Academic English, and intro to CS. However, My counselor somehow messed up my schedule and picked academic Gov instead of AP Gov; I can't change it back to AP gov now cause of my tight schedule. Anyways, the Cisco course that I'm taking this year counts as 3 credits so it technically is 3 DE/AP classes. Overall, I'm technically taking 4 AP classes (3 are from Cisco and 1 is from AP calc) and 3 academic classes this year. The only class that I can change is English and that is to AP Lit. My worry is that my classes for senior year is not good enough for colleges. Throughout highschool, including this year, I've taken 7 AP/DE classes ( 3 DE and 4 AP), and 5 honor classes. By the way, I'm planning to major in cyber security. So, do you think I need to take AP Lit or not? Should I take it or I should be fine with my classes? Like are my classes good enough for colleges like prudue and vt? Thanks again.

Your classes are very important, but what you take and how it affects your chances differs per person. As long as you feel like that the classes you're taking are important to you and will help your goals, take them. You should take easy ones, make sure to challenge yourself and also immerse yourself in ECs and other activities.
Hope this helped!!

Since I see you've edited your question, let me add. I would take AP Lit, just because there never is harm in adding another AP class. Again, the classes you take matter specifically to you, and you also have to make sure your ECs are excellent. I think the classes you've taken should be fine though :)
