So I'm the first in my family going to college/grad. h/s.
None of them can really help me
with this problem I have.
I don't know if I'm picking too many classes,
if it's about right, or whatever.
I'm still a junior in h/s but next year
I'm doing dual-enrollment: Early Admissions.
I'll be in BOTH h/s & college.
I will be taking these classes at the college though...
I cannot drop a class once enrolled.
I have to make above a C.
It will be on my college transcript.
I will not go to the h/s at all...
the AP classes will be online...I think that's it. (:

The classes I have on my paper so far for semester one are: (credit/hours)
3/3 ENC 1101: Composition I
3/3 MAC 1105: College Algebra
3/3 STA 2023: Elementary Statistics
3/3 PHI 2630: Philosophy & You
AP US GOVT
AP Art or AP Art History... I'm not sure yet*

Semester two:

3/3 ENC 1102: Composition II
4/4 MAC 1147: Precalculus
3/3 BSC 2085: Human Anatomy+Physiology
1/2 BSC 2085L: The lab for "
DEP 2004: Human Growth & Develop... orrrr
PSY 2012: Gen. Psych.
AP Macroeconomics
AP Art[History]

*Listed twice because it's a full years length. (:

Currently I'm a "B" average, procrastinating, AP student. : D
Care to lend a hand on if you think I should add/subtract more.


Sorry if this is in the wrong spot. Feel free to move it<3

I was thinking about doing this next year, since I'm a sophomore right now.
But, I found pros and cons.

Pros:
-It's a college schedule where you wake up late (~8am) and get out early.
-You can leave the campus at lunch, which became prohibited in my school after an accident killed five students a few years back.
-It's easy-going and let's you do your own thing, let's you be independent.

Cons:
-My friend went to the orientation and said that all they talked about was the schedule, which leads me to believe that they are misleading and using propaganda to make more students apply.
-The credits are not accepted by some colleges sometimes. I wanted to go to that college-high school, but I didn't want to go to that college, per se. But I learned that taking those classes could cause me to lose some credits depending on the different college I apply to.

So, I decided not to take college-high school and just take AP classes. AP classes are a better use of your time and, at my magnet school, it's wayy more useful than a college-high school, in my opinion.

I want to get my A.A. first then transfer to a State University,
so I don't really have to worry so much of it not transferring right.
I wouldn't have to go to my school at all, which is a HUGE bonus for me.
Plus, I failed my APWH exam & am probably going to fail my APLANG & APUSH exams too. I know I'll pass my AP PSY (;

But I can see why you chose AP, just at my school,
it's not really the best option out there.

Oh, whatever floats your boat.
You do get done faster and that seems like something you really want to do.

Btw, I hate history and procrastinate wayy too much so I decided not to take APWH and APUSH. Bahaha.

Ah; and what do you do/learn in AP PSY? Is it basically the same as Psych?
What field are you planning on going into?

I plan on being a psychiatrist; first majoring in psychology.

It's pretty basic, I think.
You go over the different perspectives of psychology
& what they believe about different topics.
The teacher I had was horrible with overloading us with
homework & quizzes... but I really thought the subject was easy in itself. (:
