Well, as long as it's Pre AP stuff then it shouldn't be too bad. One AP course should be fine.

well in Plano hgh school is 9 and 10 and senior high is 11 and 12 (its the only city like that i think), and that is the reason, there actually was 2 AP classes but i already had gotten an honors credit for the other through Humanities, so i didnt want to retake a slightly harder version

You should take AP classes, especially AP Calculus. I got screwed in College because none of the classes I took would even land me in Calculus my first quarter which you need to be taking to be enrolled in Computer Science. I took AP Statistics instead of AP Calculus in my senior year of highschool and you know what that did for me? Nothing, even with a 5 on the AP. I had to take a test on Trig to place me in Calculus which is something I hadn't studied in 2 years. It was either that or start in a college math course a whopping 3 levels behind Calculus. Very crappy situation.

You take AP calc in highschool and pass it, you won't have to deal with crap like this.

I don't know the situation for out of state students, but for kids who went to school in California there's enough CSU's and UC's that everyone can get in as long as they have decent grades. Where I grew up there was San Jose State just south along with Santa Clara University, Stanford around the block(good luck with getting in there), San Francisco State just north, and UC Berkeley just passed that. I decided to get away from my parents so I'm at Cal Poly Pomona, the six hour drive was Hell though. Honestly, California offers so many choices for their students on where to go to college and of good quality too.

The US has one of the best tertiary education systems in the world. Our high schools and lower might be crap but our universities are very good. Most of the highest ranked universities in the world are in the US.

Pre AP? Is that more difficult than honors or..? My school goes right from Honors to AP so I'm not sure. Your schedule looks impressive to me. I was in AP US History 1 but dropped it because I'm an awful writer which impacted my grade for the worse D: I took Chem I Honors and I did okay I guess. But enough about me :P, your schedule looks like it will be enough for you to handle and to me, is impressive. Good luck because some of those courses are tough.

My question is, why are all kids these days preparing for life in HS? People need to take some lessons from Fast Times. Be a kid and enjoy your life.
