Advice for Senior Year Schedule

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm signing up for my senior year courses next week, so I just wanted to get an outside opinion from the interwebs.</p>

<p>I'm looking at a schedule with:
AP Statistics
AP Calc B/C
Spanish 3
AP English Lit
AP Gov/AP Econ</p>

<p>My school offers a 6 period day, so I technically still have one spot open. (2 if I want to take a zero period course.)</p>

<p>So I guess my questions are:
Would it greatly impact me if I only choose to take 5 classes next year, as opposed to 6 (think top 20 schools)?
Does NOT taking a science hurt me greatly? I'm not that great in science, but if it would help me, I wouldn't mind taking a science.
I'm interested in doing newspaper, but that's a zero period course. I've done zero period for the past year, and I hate waking up at 6am. However, newspaper sounds interesting. From a college adcom's standpoint, would only taking newspaper for my senior year look good or bad? I know they like to see a commitment and one year is not exactly a commitment.</p>

<p>Thanks guys!</p>

<p>Sorry if this is in the wrong category too :confused: If anyone could redirect me to the right one, it would be much appreciated</p>

<p>Hey! </p>

<p>You might want to post this here ( [High</a> School Life - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/high-school-life/]High”>High School Life - College Confidential Forums) ) which is the high-school page:) </p>

<p>Personally I would throw in science just to show colleges that your going to continue to give senior year all youve got and that you can take on the workload. Then again youve probably earned yourself some much needed free time! Ultimately its up to you man!</p>
