5 Periods Senior Year?

<p>I was wondering if my senior schedule is too laid back and whether it would hurt my chances of getting into a good college. </p>

<p>My School:
Our school allows us to take up to 7 classes per year and offers around 15 AP's. Most students take 6 classes. It is fairly competitive with most students taking around 2-3 AP's/honors and some others taking 4-5.</p>

<p>AP Calc BC
AP Gov (1st sem) / AP Econ (2nd sem)
Money and Banking
Contemporary Lit
Physics</p>

<p>Unless you are doing something majorly big with the rest of your day, I would suggest adding something else on.</p>

<p>I do Cross Country and Track and Field after school. I also have an engineering internship on the weekend and volunteering on Friday.</p>

<p>my suggestion would be to add another course, one AP and maybe one non-AP if ya fancy</p>

<p>I would take something else, even if it’s not challenging. It’s senior year! take something fun that you might not get to do in college</p>

<p>Take physics or English as AP and maybe add something else. (have you done stats or Chem?)</p>

<p>What do you want to go into?
What kind of school do you want to go to?</p>

<p>Colleges are looking for rigor in your schedule. You have to ask yourself if that is as rigorous a schedule as you can handle. Based on what I went though with my two older sons (who both went to a 7 period day high school), I think you will find the more selective the school, the more they are going to think that you are “skating” your senior year with your proposed schedule.</p>

<p>Good luck with your deliberations! :)</p>
