Hey!
For my senior year, I plan on taking the following APs:
AP Chemistry
AP English Lit
AP Microeconomics (2nd semester)
AP Psychology
And non APs:
Anatomy and Physiology
Community college course
Statistics
Is this schedule good for someone going into pre-health? Maybe at top schools like Emory or Vanderbilt? I also plan on getting a part time job after school.
extracurriculars:
pres of a volunteer club
sports captain
sports manager
theater stage manager
NHS vp
cpr instructor
and hopefully a part time job next year?
Will I be able to realistically manage everything with college applications? I can elaborate on anything if needed.
Thank you!
Your senior schedule and extracurricular activities seem well-rounded and demonstrate a strong commitment to academics and leadership. Pursuing a pre-health track at top schools like Emory or Vanderbilt, your course selection with AP Chemistry, AP Psychology, and Anatomy and Physiology aligns well with your interests.
However, it's essential to consider your time management and ability to handle these courses alongside your extracurricular activities, college applications, and a potential part-time job. Reflect on your previous experiences with balancing academics and outside commitments: Have you been able to manage a similar workload in the past, or do you think this schedule might be too demanding?
Remember, it's crucial to maintain a balance between challenging yourself academically and maintaining your mental and physical well-being.
To keep this community safe and supportive:
Definitely agree. AP chem is considered to be one of the HARDEST AP courses available to students and 3 other AP courses is a pretty heavy work-load. If you are willing to take up the challenge, then by all means go ahead. If you have good sat/act scores and a ~~ 3.7+ gpa you're set for top colleges I'd say. If you get 5s, that'll increase your chances even further.
