Hey guys, so I'm a rising junior and I need to select my classes soon. Can anyone give me a solid high school class guide, maybe shedding light on which courses are most useful for college admissions and future success? Thanks!
Hey! It's essential to take challenging courses in high school while maintaining a strong GPA. Try focusing on core academic subjects like English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Foreign Language. Aim for honors or AP-level courses when available to demonstrate course rigor to colleges.
That said, don't forget to explore your interests! Colleges appreciate well-rounded students who have a strong academic foundation and passions outside their core subjects. If you're into arts, technology or business, consider taking elective courses in those areas.
When planning your schedule, prioritize a balanced workload with time for extracurricular activities while maintaining your mental health. Ultimately, it's wise to choose courses that are rigorous and align with your interests, but don't overwhelm yourself. Good luck with your class selection!
