I’m going to be a rising junior this year and college admissions are definitely on my mind.
Since I want to get into a fairly competitive university, what looks better, taking Yearbook (where there is a chance for a leadership position) or Honors A&P where it looks good for a possible prospective pre-med applicant?
Also, please chance me if you can. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
