I’m taking 7 AP classes this senior year, but I’m thinking about dropping one if possible. It’s AP World History, where the grading is far too strict no matter how hard I try, and I got an 89.1 first semester, barely missing out on a A. Plus, I’m just not into the course. It’s way too general, and I’m already taking 3 other social science classes this year. Will colleges (somewhere like William & Mary, for ex.) rescind me for swapping out APWH for something like Game Design or Film Studies, since I already applied? I’m already taking 6 other AP’s, and I for see how it would hurt me.
They certainly will not rescind you for getting an 89 in APWH; I’d just stick it out, but then again I’m a firm believer in finishing something once started.
If you do decide to drop, there will probably be no consequences, but you really need to ask each and every college in question.
