Dropping an AP class after applying

Applying to College
1

<p>I've already applied to UC's and CSU's.
I have a good chance of getting into most of them.</p>

<p>Point of the thread:
I'm taking six classes with four APs. I plan to drop AP Art History upon the completion of 1st semester. To compensate for this, I plan to enroll in a college Intro to Psych course for 2nd semester (spring). Is this advisable? Will I be turned down if I do make this move? Please share any information you have. Thanks</p>

<p>I would advise against doing that. You would absolutely have to contact the campuses you applied to and tell them about your change of schedule. And as you probably realize, dropping a year-long class halfway through the year will make them suspect that you just said “this is too hard I’m quitting the class”.</p>

<p>You need to get permission from those schools - they may not require it, but some do. Check with the admissions office.</p>
