Everything looks good as long as you keep the grades up. Colleges usually are looking for the basics, such as 4 years of math, 4 years of science, and sometimes 4 years of a foreign language. If I were you, start picking out potential universities you might want to attend and meet with an advisor now. They can tell you what they expect incoming freshman to have and they might be able to tell you what courses would be good to take your senior year. It's never too early to start looking into these things. Good luck!

I'm a senior and you've made the same mistake I did, four-year university's like it if you've taken 4 years of a foreign language, you took an elective English instead.
Find out what scholarship and which university you wish to attend, then show those requirements to your counselor. He/she will be more help to you than anyone with that type of question.
Also, talk to the admission offices of the universities your considering, they'll be able to send you the right information.
Unless your going into the science field, you don't need chemistry but talk to your councilor. Good Luck.

It looks like you're taking college prep courses. That's a heavy load. The only possible "fluff" course is "Theatre Arts". If you're pretty smart or plan to hit the books a lot maybe you can handle such a lot of difficult subjects. I don't know about what kinds of things earn scholarships, other than 4.0. Maybe showing some extracurricular interests...chess club, tennis, etc. There are other kinds of scholarships besides academic. Running for office can help too.
Good luck!

yes I am in law school and in HS I did not take the honors classes and did fine. Just make sure to apply early so you have a shot at getting the money also you can find scholarships in a lot of places ask the advisor at school where to look

first go to a junior college for two years and then when you are all done with the junior college you can move all of your credits to the university of your choice.
I did it that way and I finished my studies at S.D.S.U. (San Diego State University) with more credits than I ever needed and I graduated with my classmates.

I think it depends on how good you are on those subjects...if you get good grades on those subjects you're taking...that will lead you to the scholarship

make sure your grades are up to par and that you do well on the sat or act. it could also boost things up if you took some college courses at you local community college.
peace
