Community College Courses Over The Summer

Applying to College
1

<p>This summer, I plan to take a few (3-4) courses at a local community college between my junior and senior year. I specifically plan to take courses related to my top prospective majors (philosophy and political science) because these subjects are not offered at my school.</p>

<p>I realize that the credit I earn will probably not be very transferable, but that aside I wonder how will this affect college admissions. I have a genuine desire to use my time effectively instead of just lazing around all summer, but how do community college courses compare to for instance a job or internship?</p>

<p>The courses I am planning on taking are Ethics, Logic, Comparative Politics, and Political Thought. I already have an decent background in these topics from my own reading and it is inconceivable to me that my grades would not be A's.</p>

<p>It will definitely be beneficial even if you don’t get any credits. It will indicate to the admissions ppl that you have a strong interest in you field and that your willing to work and spend your summers wisely.</p>

<p>very smart sureshot method. It shows if you are really devoted and adapt in one major then they will probably admit you for that major</p>
