HELP Big Dillemma about senior course load info

<p>Ok so here's the problem:
for my senior year I have AP Physics, AP Studio Art, AP French, Marching Band, Health, and Political Economy. Considering the course offerings of my high school it's not the most rigorous schedule, but this does not accurately reflect my interests and plans. </p>

<p>I was originally planning to take AP Chemistry or AP Biology, and AP Government as well. Unfortunately, the classes for AP Chemistry and AP Biology were full, and even though seniors are supposed to have first priority in being admitted to these classes, I was not granted such based on my graduation status. The argument was that since I’m graduating in January and thus will take only one semester of the class, it is not fair for that other student who was not admitted and would have taken both semesters of it.
(*I am required to graduate in Jan because of my special situation where i attended first two years of hischool in two different countries and the semesters didn't match up).</p>

<p>As for AP Government, taking it for only one semester would earn me only half the credit I need for my remaining graduation requirements; thus I was enrolled in Political Economy (a block-scheduled class) to earn the full credit for graduation requirement in one semester. </p>

<p>I am scared that the colleges will look at my schedule and view me in a less favorable light. Should I put this information in the Additional Info section,
or should I ask my counselor as soon as school begins to send a letter to the colleges addresing this?
(btw, if it helps to show my seriousness in any way I signed up for an online UC Berkeley psychology course after not being able to take a psychology course at my school because it was full.)</p>

<p>bump bump ^ any advice would be greatly appreciated, this is urgent</p>

<p>You’re in such a unique situation that this is something you’ll have to figure out. The only way for you to do that is to ask your counselor whether they indicated that you took the most rigorous courseload possible. If so, then I don’t know why things wouldn’t go over fairly smoothly (especially if your counselor explained your unique situation in their letter of rec).</p>

<p>Calm down. You’ll be fine. And Berkeley barely cares about what you do senior year. Just breathe.</p>
