<p>Hi there, good souls of CC:</p>
<p>[redacted]</p>
<p>Never mind; I think I'm just toying with this idea! agh.</p>
<p>wait! no! I’m back! (if anyone’s still reading):</p>
<p>how badly does dropping physics c (which I made a 94 in fall semester) but taking ap psychology in its place look to colleges on my midyear report?</p>
<p>snowflake details:
–can I get rescinded from HYPS for this kind of thing?
–how negatively will this sway colleges in aforementioned ranks that I have yet to be (not) accepted to?</p>
<p>I mean, my schedule this year was an eensy bit less rigorous than junior year to begin with…</p>
<p>(okay, thanks!)</p>
<p>Do you mean “rejected”?</p>
<p>If you were already accepted, they won’t “rescind”(withdraw an acceptance). But if it looks like you are taking it easy this semester, in comparison to students who load themselves up all the way through, it may lessen your competitiveness among them, as AP Psychology is one of the easiest APs and Physics C one of the most difficult.</p>
<p>nope, I mean ‘rescinded.’</p>
<p>You need to contact them and ask before you do anything. Find out if your acceptance was contingent on finishing AP Physics. They are probably going to want a good reason for dropping it. I don’t necessarily agree that dropping it doesn’t make a difference. Schools use certain classes as benchmarks for rigor when available to the student. You were accepted with this as part of the whole package. Just as not having it when you first applied may have made you less competitive, you have to expect finishing the year without it, after having it on your transcript during admissions, changes the picture. Don’t create a problem, however remote the possibility, before making a phone call. Hopefully they’ll tell you it’s fine.</p>
