Advice needed

<p>My senior year class schedule:</p>

<li> University Physics (kind of chill)</li>
<li> Government (okay)</li>
<li> AP English Literature (killer course)</li>
<li> AP Calculus BC (killer course)</li>
<li> AP Spanish (uhh…hablo espanol)</li>
<li> Honors Anatomy and Physiology (very tough at my school)</li>
<li> University Human Biology online (assumed to be okay b/c it will probably be similar to anat&phys…so like extra studying for me)</li>
<li> Community College Introduction to Philosophy online (chill = expected)</li>
</ol>

<p>Four questions:
1+2) Do transcripts specify if it is online or not? Will it hurt if it is online?
3) I have two free periods. Do you think I should fill one up? My counselor won’t allow me to add anymore classes, but I think I can find a way. I usual average 9 classes a semester, but I’ve never taken an AP class (as my school only offers one before snr year). I usually have at least one psychology course, but none this time. I can add Lifespan Development or a stats-oriented one (that’s a follow-up to one I’ve taken before). I’ve always kind of been bio/psych oriented in my class choices.
4) Do you think this is rigorous enough? Two main schools I’m interested in: Stanford and Yale</p>

<p>Other things I will be doing my snr. year include:
-President of BioMed club
-Co-President of American Red Cross Club
-College apps! Yikes. SCEA to Yale.
-Working on my research - maybe (but probably unlikely) entering it in Intel (unlikely I will end up doing this, though…depending on my summer)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Your courseload seems above average to rigorous, but the hard part will be maintaining excellent grades in all of them. If you think that you can handle the extra course and maintain your grades, go ahead. But if you know that you honestly won't be able to, don't bother with it. </p>

<p>It seems like you have a lot of online courses. I've never had any experience with them, but if you find that they work I guess go for it. I can understand because taking physical courses will be a huge strain on time. </p>

<p>As for the transcript issue, I think it does indicate online courses if it's not one offered by your school. (I think your online courses are offered by colleges?)</p>
