Should I take AP Spanish or Honors high-level chorus?
Hello, I am trying to determine what courses to take next year and I cannot decide what my elective should be.
My schedule for next year is as follows:
AP Lit
AP Gov
AP Psych
Honors Environmental Science
AP AB Calculus
Gym
I have one more class, and I am trying to decide between AP Spanish or Honors-level chorus. I have been in chorus for over 10 years and I enjoy it, though I am not planning on studying music. I only moved up into honors Spanish this year, so I am not sure how successful I will be in AP Spanish, but I know that another AP will be beneficial since I've only taken 2 others (my school mostly limits them to senior year), and I'm trying for top schools. I also do not like Spanish and do 20-50 hours of extracurricular activity a week so I'm worried it will end badly. Which should I choose?
Honestly, as someone taking all APs both Junior and Senior year, I think it is definitely not worth giving up longtime extracurriculars and hobbies as well as community service to take a class of a harder level that might just tank your GPA. I would recommend doing honors chorus because you're more likely to do better at it and it'll overall probably look better on your application. Plus it's more fun. And that counts for a lot.
