What classes should I take senior year?

Answered

Hello! I'm also a junior interested in premed, this is going to look like unorthodox advice, but...

You don't have to stress yourself academically senior year! Premed is more about your grades in college and MCAT score in highschooler. All these AP's and advanced classes are not as important as you'd think.

Here's my (more specific) advice:

Definitely AB unless you're very very very interested in Math. I wouldn't recommend Calc at all, in correlation with all your other high-rigor AP's. It's really up to you. Take an honest look at how you perform in math and your background knowledge.

DE Bio gets you more of a college experience- traditionally it looks 'worse' for higher difficulty college admissions, but it gives you a key insight into what college looks like. As for AP Psych, I'd highly recommend taking this, as psych is on the MCAT and AP Psych is a good introduction. However, if you want a Bio degree for med school apps (Which is the most common) I'd recommend AP or DE Bio, to decide between the two, I'd analyze transportation and other factors of DE that AP doesn't have. I recommend Psych so you have less difficult AP's.

I'd highly recommend the honors course, you have a lot of HIGHLY difficult AP's and you're going to be very tired this year. It's important to try and have some fun, so decrease your class load. Don't overload yourself- you will burn out.

I'd say no, Premed looks for more science courses than language. Three years of a WL is recommended- but not essential. I did take 3 years of Latin, but that's me.

Here's my schedule for reference:

Junior: Precalc, Marketing Research, Latin III, AP Lang, Marketing Management, APUSH, AP Seminar

Senior: (DE?) Gov/Econ, Honors Anatomy/Physiology, AP Lit, AP Research, Mentorship, (Maybe Stat. reasoning)
