Okay. I'm going to be a senior in public school next year... my first time since 6th grade. It turns out I only need two credits to graduate - English IV and Economics/Life Management. But the thing is, my cumulative gpa for 9th-11th so far is only around a 2.8 (I really messed up my gpa in 9th and 10th grade). And in order for me to qualify for Florida's Bright Futures scholarship, which would pay 100% of community college and 75% univiersity, I have to have at least a 3.0.

I've just been really lazy, up till halfway through this year. I'm a smart girl - I got a 28 on my ACT.

So my question is, should I just take the two credits I need, and not worry about getting the scholarship? Or should I take a butt load of extra classes to raise my gpa enough? After calculating everything, I would need to take six additional classes, so I'd have a full schedule, with no electives. And the additional classes I would want to take are ones like Precalc, Calculus, Biology II, AP Bio, AP English, and I would retake Spanish II (this would all be block scheduling btw). Would that be too much to handle? I've taken all honors courses for the past three years, so I'm a little unsure. My school now doesnt offer AP's.

I'm just really stressing over what I should do... my parents are both telling me something different. Has anyone ever had a really full schedule like that their senior year, and is it extremely stressful?

Ahhhh what should I do? pinch.gif
