Advice for Course List

<p>Do upper tier colleges mind if I only take 3 History credits in high school instead of 4?</p>

<p>I'm going to be a Senior next year and I don't really care for history.</p>

<p>I know that I could take Econ, but what if I didn't?</p>

<p>Would some top tier colleges not like it if didn't take any social science/history class in my senior of high school?</p>

<p>If so, which colleges are against it?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for the help!</p>

If you’re taking something else that does interest you and is somewhat rigorous instead of a social studies course, then that won’t hurt you at any school that isn’t specifically looking for 4 years of social studies (and even then, they might not care). But if you take a free period or an elective, they might not be as impressed.</p>
