Confuse...What do they look in for from highschool student

Hello all im new here. I'm in my junior year of high school and i wanted to know what type of classes i should be taking to get into a Nursing program at a university. Right now I'm taking English,Algebra2,Chem,us history,Psychology,and spanish 3,Allied health 2 (medical Terminology). Do you think i should drop either spanish 3, allied health 2 and try to fit in Human Anatomy or just wait till my senior year. What would colleges for in classes in a student? I have heard the more science class you have the better. Also does taking College prep class, or Honors class matter?

Re: Confuse...What do they look in for from highschool student

In college nursing prereq's at my CC we take English Comp I for Associates Degree and I&II for BSN,(BSN involves transfer to 4yr college after prereq's) A&P I&II, Microbiology, Developmental Psychology, Philosophy, Algebra or equivalent higher math (I took Probability & Statistics), and Speech. Take sciences like Biology and Anatomy & Physiology if you can, and Algebra to get prepared. Anything your school offers along a medical line is good, and you can keep your foriegn language class for this year if you think you will go higher than a basic A.A.S. RN degree; you will need a college level foriegn language class at some point before your transfer to a 4 yr school as well. I'm covered up with reading this week so let me know if any of this doesn't make sense!

I don't know about College Prep or Honors, you might be better off calling an admissions office at a school you want to attend and find out if it matters to them.
