<p>My high school is quite small, as a result we have a limited number of AP/Dual-Enrollment classes.</p>
<p>*All of the classes listed below are the most challenging I can take at my school</p>
<p>Junior Year: A's in everything-Chemistry, French I (I have had three years of Spanish and there's no Spanish 4 at my school), Horticulture, Dual-Enrollment PreCal, Office Admin., Advanced US History, Advanced Government.</p>
<p>Senior Year schedule (so far)</p>
<p>Dual-Enrollment English
Adv. Gov't
Dual-Enrollment Biology
Anatomy
Dual-Enrollment Calculus
French II
(Empty Space)</p>
<p>What should I fill this empty space with? I am pursuing a pol. sci/gov't degree (hopefully at William and Mary, I'm instate). I have a chance to take an "independent study" or two per semester, but if I take only one per semester I can fill this empty space with a HS class, which would raise my (<3.6) GPA. But should I do it? If I take a study hall I could do two independent studies (all of which give me 3 to 6 college credits). But I don't honestly know if I can handle two independent studies and 7 (somewhat challenging) classes.</p>
<p>*I will definitely take a US History independent study because I've already had the class, but as for the others, I am undecided.</p>
<p>What choice will make me a more competitive applicant?</p>
