Does taking AP study hall look bad?

<p>I'm taking five AP classes my senior year: Physics, Literature, Comparative + US Gov (Combined into one course) Calculus BC, and Computer Science A.</p>

<p>I'm taking French 4 also, so that leaves me with 6 courses total and a study hall class.</p>

<p>Does this senior schedule look bad? Will it look bad for college in general?</p>

<p>I had two study blocks when I was in high school. Calm down… admissions counselors won’t penalize you for taking study hall classes.</p>

<p>Jeepers! 5 APs, four of them involving quite a bit of work, spread of humanities, social science, math & hard science, advanced language . . . What do you think they would think is missing?</p>

<p>I know: smelling the roses. Please take the study hall! Or, if you can’t stand having a free period, take Drawing With Crayons or Play-Doh Modelling. Doo-Wop Chorus. Something like that.</p>

<p>^hahaha.</p>

<p>I think study hall is fine. However if you take OJT (on-job-training) and don’t even have to go to school half the day that’s another story. I don’t think alotta schools have that though. Half of last years seniors had 2 or 3 classes total.</p>

<p>Honestly study hall is just fine. Your schedule is already difficult enough, why would your want to bog your days and grade down?</p>

<p>You’ll be thankful for that study hall when the crush of applications, courses and activities get crazy in October and November!</p>

<p>S1 scheduled a slightly less crazed first semester schedule senior year. As it turns out, he was VERY thankful he did this. He made up for it second semester with a really tough one (and pulled it off) – no senioritis with him.</p>

<p>Honestly, that’s a good way to end high school.</p>

<p>Yes 5 AP classes is totally slacking off (sarcasm)</p>

<p>I just dropped comp sci and replaced it with AP Euro.</p>

<p>[sarcasm]</p>

<p>It’s still “only” five APs… :wink:
Why drop Comp Sci? You could self-study Euro, you know… </p>

<p>[/sarcasm]</p>

<p>Euro is one of the hardest AP classes to learn, not to mention to self study. That’s why Euro is usually for seniors (although for some random reason it is for sophomores at my school and the teacher even tells us it is for seniors)
Self studying Comp sci is easier.</p>
