I am currently a junior, and thought that I had my course schedule all tied up for next year. However, I was recently approached by my AP English 3 teacher and asked if I would consider joining his Newspaper class for next year. As my schedule was already filled to the brim, and I looked for courses that I could get rid of without sacrificing subjects that I know I love. As of right now, I am seriously considering getting rid of AP Physics 1 and instead joining Newspaper. This means that I would not be taking a science for my senior year of high school. Would doing as such axe any chance I have of getting into Georgetown? My dream major is International Political Economy, and I have structured the rest of my schedule so that I am taking the most relevant courses possible (I took AP Econ this year, am taking Honors Foreign Policy, Honors International Business, Honors Finance, AP Statistics, and Honors Calculus in regards to subjects directly related to the major, and am also taking AP European History, AP Latin, AP English 4). Any advice?
Feel free to drop it. IPEC is not a scientific major and the SFS science requirement (beginning with class of 22) is only one course. My point is that unless you say you want to be a STIA major, they won’t care much about your science curriculum. Personally, I did not take science senior year of high school and I never took bio and still got in as a Political Economy applicant to the College. Don’t sweat it.
