<p>I'm taking a full schedule next year with an additional math class (AP statistics), and I have room in my schedule for one elective. I can't decide if I want to take psycology or digital graphic arts. Both interest me tremendously, but I can only take one. Psycology seems more fascinating and useful, while digital graphic arts seems more fun and relaxing. (like a break from all the academic work). Digital graphic arts is also part of the Skowhegan Vocational Center, which is supposedly very good. It's an occupational skill development program.</p>
<p>Umm, so does it matter which one I take? Do colleges take this into consideration at all?</p>
<p>sounds like you should take digital arts</p>
<p>^ but does it make a difference which one I take? I'm equally interested in both.</p>
<p>I have another question. What if you didnt take some required courses (ie. art/health/gym) during your first three years of HS, but are required to take before you can graduate? I would love to take more AP's, but I need art, health, and gym to graduate. That would take up 3 periods already, and most of the AP classes in my school are double period. What should I do?</p>
<p>They're mandatory, right?</p>
<p>So... uh... take them? Before graduation time? So you can graduate? Which is essential to go to college?</p>
<p>If you can't graduate because you insisted on taking other classes in lieu of the required, it's completely your fault due to poor planning. You should've taken them freshman/sophomore years so you could devote junior/senior year to APs and Honors courses.</p>
<p>What if you do good on core and required classes but suck at couple of electives? Like get A's in AP calc and chem but get C's or D's in yearbook or ceramics? Would that hurt the chances a lot?</p>
