Need help in high school please?
I just realized that what I've been doing isn't right. My grades are not as good as they can be, and i really want to change. Let me start off, please answers any questions that i put on.
So last year i was a freshman in high school. In 8th grade, i took a state english exam and i was sick that day. I didn't do too great and last year i was placed in a 4 term algebra 1 class. Those 4 terms equal two years. My schedule last year was Spanish 2, English, Art Technology, Global, Algebra terms 1 and 2 of 4, and living environment (also called biology) +Gym and lunch periods. I had not and still haven't taken the earth science regents. I was fine with all my classes except algebra. All my friends had geometry except me. I dreaded on throughout that year and now to this year.
This year i am taking Chemistry, Algebra terms 3 and 4 of 4, Geometry 1 year only then the regents this June so basically a regular class, AP Global (actually called AP World History), Forensics year 1, English, and Spanish 3 (which is actually spanish 5 and 6) +lunch and gym.
My average last year at the end was a 92. This year my first marking period average was an 86. I was really disappointed in myself. My parents have yet to see that report card. I wanted to improve my grades so badly, and i did. I have excelled in everything in my opinion, except Geometry and English. I got a 74 on an english test because i was so stressed out about AP Global that i couldn't think. In geometry, the class is mainly about tests and so far for this marking period i got a 72 on our only test. How do i improve in both of these classes? In my opinion, since i get my report card on January 29th, I believe i have till somewhere around the 22nd of January to change my grades. In geometry i may have up to 2 more tests. What grades do i need on those tests if i seriously want to get a 85-90 on my report card in that class? Geometry is based mainly on our tests, but my teacher takes participation and other things into mind too. In english, i think ill just try to ace everything from now on.
After this, I've seriously started thinking about my future and that i really want to take harder classes. Can you take a look at my desires for my junior and senior class schedules and help me adjust it?
In my junior year i hope to take:
Physics honors
Trigonometry honors
Pre-Calculus honors
AP U.S. History
Forensics Year 2
English 11 Honors or AP English (can i take AP English?)
+ Gym (i want to take out my lunch period, is this possible? I never eat and all it does it get me home late from school by adding a period. What do i tell the counselor at school about this?)
- Is it possible to take Trigonometry and Pre-Calculus in the same year like that? I'm actually very good at math, i only slacked off in geometry accidentally, now i understand my mistakes. I really want to take both of those classes so i can take AP Calculus in my senior year. Also, i have no foreign language because i have no more spanish classes left to take besides AP which i choose not to,
In my senior year i want to take:
AP Calculus
AP Government
Forensics year 3
English or some type of AP english if there is such a class
+Gym and no lunch again
*I may possibly take AP Chemistry.
-If i don't take AP Chemistry, should i take AP Statistics with AP Calculus?
How do my schedules look? What should i add/remove/change? Could i get into Harvard or an Ivy League College if i change my act now?
I want to become a doctor, specializing in some field. As of now, im thinking of anesthesiology.
-Thank you all so much!!

You won't get into Harvard, it will be a stretch to get into any ivy leagues. Most Ivy League schools are luck of the draw of a lottery. Kids with 4.3's and do 15 extracurriculars and near perfect test scores get denied all the time.

Senior High college is the unique identical factor as High college, simply one more identify. Like in my the town now we have Austin Senior top (top college) and Austin junior top (core college).
