Counselor + Associate Principle = Messed up Schedule

Applying to College
1

<p>On the CommonApp I reported that I would be taking AP Psych second semester...</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I am not in AP Psych and it is second semester. My schedule has always caused problems, so I talked to my counselor and the associate principal as usual in August before school started. We worked it out and it was perfect. Then I found out before winter break that I was not signed up for AP Psych. I talked to my counselor and the assoc. principal again and they said they'd fix it.</p>

<p>I've been trying to get them to fix it since the beginning of second semester, but they won't do it. I go to my counselor, but she says that she can't change it and tells me to see the assoc. principal. I go to the assoc. principal, explain it to her, but she tells me that I need to talk to my counselor because counselors change schedules. So I go to my counselor and she says she can't. Basically, they're just passing around the problem and refusing to make a few clicks.</p>

<p>Now I've missed three full weeks of an AP course and still no sign of getting my schedule fixed. Even if they suddenly decide to be competent I have to make up so much work.</p>

<p>Should I just leave it alone and explain to the colleges why I'm not taking AP Psych? I want to major in Psych but I'm not going to hang myself if I don't take Psych in high school. The only reason I'm freaking out about taking Psych is because I reported on the CommonApp that I would be taking the class. Will it hurt my chances of admission if I don't take Psych?</p>

<p>You should notify the colleges you applied to about this, but I really doubt they’d penalize you for a scheduling conflict.</p>

<p>AP Psych is not typically a class that colleges care about. What are you worried about?</p>

<p>What are you taking instead of that?</p>

<p>Thank you :)</p>

<p>I was going to keep a dismiss (free block) because there aren’t any good classes during that block. I’ve taken other APs and have taken Orchestra and Health Science Tech for four years so I thought I’d take a breather for the last semester of my high school life…</p>

<p>I was just worried because I reported that I would be taking AP Psych and saying that my counselor/associate principle were not cooperating seemed like a lame excuse…AND I chose psych as my major so I look like a super failure.</p>
