EXTREMELY hard schedule.

What's your schedule?

What's a Beta Club? Just curious.

The hardest possible schedule offered by my school--although only 4 AP's, I still have a challenging curriculum.

11th Grade:
AP Calc AB
AP USH
Latin III
English (H)
Business Law (required by my school)
Chemistry (H)

12th Grade:
AP English IV
AP Biology
Latin IV
Economics (required)
Physics (H)
Ancient History


Asianalto:

The National Beta Club is basically the same thing as NHS, but our school doesn't have NHS, so we have Beta instead. It serves basically the same purpose.

Your school requires business law? I would cry. That's one of the most loserish classes at my school.

I'd say you have as good a chance as a number of people, but nothing extremely special. The process as schools like this is kind of a crapshoot anyway.

thats really not that "EXTREME" of a schedule....sorry... not worthy of "EXTREMELY" maybe "hard" or "heavy" schedule, but not, "EXTREMELY."

I suspect that the "difficulty" of individual coarses vary fairly significantly from school to school, and as such the best judge of the difficulty of a particular coarseload is likely the person taking that coarseload, not someone on a message board basing their evaluation from a frame of reference that is almost certainly very different.

Not to be an annoying nitpicker, but you can't possibly have the hardest possible schedule if you are ranked 1st unweighted but 2nd weighted.

By the way, I can't spell (Coarse = Course)
