Well, I’m one to talk. I’m considering NOT making Eagle, in exchange for making Valedictorian, which I’m quite sure is more attainable if I focus on Public Affairs & AP Language (my other classes are cake).
I merely have to choose one of two… not as many options as Rick.

Obviously, most of the class believes I am guaranteed V, but I know better. AP Lit took a HUGE chunk out of my GPA last year, (thanks to the lovable Scanlon & some personal issues). AP Lang is mostly in-class essays in prep for the AP Test (which I don’t need to get the required 8). However, the class description: “Non-fiction” is my forte, and if I focus, I can get V (and another AP 5) by sacrificing E. (Confused yet?)

I lied, Door #3 is: drop AP Lang for Eng 12 R. (Eagle slightly possible, Valedictorian guaranteed)
AP: 1.08 multiplier; most of grade is in-class essays, which I am horrible at; looks better on transcript; Non-fict.
R: no multiplier; less work; write college essays in class; I risk getting a bad teacher or having to play musical schedule.
It’s all about if the 1.08 multiplier will put me at or over 100.
