ahhh senior classes troubles

Applying to College
1

<p>ahh!!!
So I am a senior and am applying to Uchicago, notre dame, georgetown and george mason EA and applying RD to Carnegie Mellon, Emory, BU, George Washington, Northwestern. My GPA is a 3.42 my SAT are 1390 ( but retaking in Oct). I am debating switching one of my senior year classes so that I will get better grades and move my overall GPA above a 3.5 and will have above a 4.0 1st trimester senior GPA. </p>

<p>My current classes are:
AP Physics B
Honors Calculus
AP English Lit.
AP Euro
Spanish 5
Theological studies 4</p>

<p>I want to keep everything the same but change Spanish 5 to Honors Psychology.</p>

<p>comments? I need advice muy rapido!</p>

<p>my question being, should I switch?</p>

<p>if you've studied up to spanish 5, why would you drop it now? "I need advice muy rapido!" Haha I think you should continue with it.</p>

<p>drop ap physics b and take another ap science if you haven't taken them all yet, preferrably ap chem or ap bio. physics is hell and there's no reason to try and deal with it senior year. unless of course you enjoy it and like it and want to take it for whatever inexplicable reason.</p>

<p>aww well i love physics haha.
I want to drop spanish because i SUCK at it. by far my worst class but gettting into college is my top priority.</p>

<p>With a 3.42 gpa and a 1390 SAT, i say you have an excellent shot at any one of these universities</p>

<p>i am geussing your being sarcastic but, there are alot of other factors you aren't aware of in my application.</p>

<p>no comments on the spanish vs. psych thing?</p>

<p>On one hand, it will be a downgrade in difficulty. But on the other hand...colleges won't know you downgraded!!</p>

<p>They will still see that you are taking very challenging courses: Physics B, Honors Calc, and 2 other challenging APs. I think with the switch out in your schedule you will still appear to have a solid senior schedule.</p>

<p>Heck, in my senior schedule I took art class (blow off class by all means), Spanish 3, and none of the APs my school offered (only 3 which I considered worthless). Your senior schedule isn't everything but yours looks great even with the switch.</p>

<p>If you don't get into some of those colleges, it is absolutely not because they looked at your schedule and said "Honors Psych?! That is weak. Couldn't they have taken...Spanish 5 or something??" ;-)</p>
