<p>I'll complete all AP courses at my school except for AP physics. I stand top 5% at my school and have good SAT score. I'm planning to take a free period a.k.a study hall instead of taking a ramdom class. Do you think it'll affect an application/admission? [I've acknowleged that admission includes many factors, i.e gpa, sat, extra-cur, etc.]</p>
<p>please give comments....many thanks!</p>
<p>Technically no, since your guidance counselor will still check off the "most rigorous" schedule available box on the school forms. Colleges have no way of knowing you even have a free period. The fact that you aren't taking AP Physics when it is available might have a slight negative effect though.</p>
<p>Not taking AP Physics is fine as long as you take a college course or an AP course online. I took all the AP courses I could take from my high school except Spanish (instead, I took 4 semesters of college French) and Physics (instead, I took AP Chemistry).</p>
<p>It won't matter, and not taking AP Physics is fine.</p>
<p>I was admitted SCEA for Class of 2013
And I had Early Release [Senior Year ][ You leave school 90 Mins Earlier ]
On top of that, I took P.E. over AP Spanish [ Senior Year ]
I never took any level of physics in high school.</p>
<p>I hope that helps!</p>
<p>You have the option to take P.E. over Spanish? You have the option to leave school an hour and a half early senior year? That's ****ing awesome, is that typical?</p>
<p>sure its typical... what school forces you to take ap spanish or language??? both high schools i've been to let seniors check out early if they wish.</p>
<p>Just keep in mind that colleges REQUIRE that you report any class you drop during senior year. Most people try to drop at the semester. Read the fine print.</p>
<p>Also, there was a student at our school last year that had two "late starts" allowing her to show up at 10 AM everyday. She got in Yale & Stanford. Almost all of the seniors have at least one late start.</p>
