High school course selection?

I’m going into my sophmore year of high school and so my sophmore year courses are already decided. I was wondering if my course selections would get me into a decent four-year college.

Freshman: Academic Biology, Humanities, HNS World Cultures, Computer Applications, Algebra I, CP English I, Gym, CP Italian I

Sophmore: CP English II, Algebra II, Geometry, AP American History I, TV Tech I, Gym, CP Italian II, Conceptual Physics

Junior: AP American II, English III, TV Tech II, Academic Chemistry, Consumer Math, Gym, HNS Italian III, AP Compostition (college-level English)

Senior: Gym, English IV, AP European History, TV Tech III, HNS Italian IV, Psycology, Human Anatomy, Senior Experience

How much will these course selections effect my transcript if I have good grades in all of them? (I would have taken harder math courses but my Algebra I was only a 76 and it effects my math selections for the rest of my high school career) Algebra was my lowest grade this year

You should start having more AP and Honors classes. Having at least 5 before graduation would be stellar. Honors classes help alot also. Even though the work will be crucial and annoying it will benefit you because your GPA will get weighted and can go up alot! In my school for example they had 1 point for AP classes, and .5 for Honors classes. For Example, I recieve a B+(3.3) in AP US than when they do my GPA it comes out as a 4.4(An A+). Even though yu will be dreading the work load year after year it will pay off during your college admissions. College admissions in the future will become difficult I believe. Try to have less CP classes. Stand up in your CP Classes as in grades, attitude, and have the teachers love you basically. They will write recommendations for the future. Watch even though it might be hard to do, you will be grateful. I regret my grades during Soph-Jr. Year.

Looks really good to me, but remember, that none of the classes will count if you do not get good grades in them. So don’t overload yourself on hard courses just for the universities.
