<p>I'm worried that I most likely won't be able to get into one of my classes spring of my senior year because a lot of people want to take the class. BUT...I've already listed it as a "planned" class on my college applications, and I've already sent most of my college apps out. Some colleges mention that altering a class schedule without prior approval is a reason that they can withdraw admission.
I have the class listed on my transcript as a "planned" class. Is this okay, or is this something that I'm going to have to worry about? Or can I note the change during the Mid-Year Report?</p>
<p>similar question, what if you drop a high-level class after you've been accepted?</p>
<p>email the college and let them know.</p>
<p>What is the class you have planned but might change (and what would it change to)? Is it a change in a level (i.e. regular to honors/AP/IB/etc.), and if so, would your change be "up" or "down" from the planned class? You say that "a lot of people want to take the class"- so if you don't get in, it's probably not your fault. </p>
<p>By high-level class, I'm assuming you mean honors/AP/IB. Why would you be dropping the class? Is it really too difficult, or are you only doing it to "get in to college" and thus just don't want to take the class?</p>
<p>If you don't get into a class you planned on taking, you should email and let them know. If you drop a class AFTER you've been accepted, you must notify them. It will be in your acceptance letter as one of the conditions. I know the UC system, for example, is going to check your final transcript and make sure you really took the courses you said you were taking.</p>
<p>My son was unable to get into a class he listed in his planned classes. It was a scheduling conflict in his case. The class he couldn't get into was a "core subject" academic-type class, and he replaced with something more elective-ish. </p>
<p>As soon as he knew the 1st class wasn't going to work, he emailed admissions at his college (he'd already been accepted ED), and never heard back from them. After a week or so he tried calling, and someone in the adm. office took down the information, and then said, "If you don't hear back from us, assume it's okay."</p>
<p>So yeah, just email so there's some record of the communication. If you hear nothing, perhaps follow it up with a phone call. I think this kind of issue must come up fairly often, it will be something admissions offices have dealth with before.</p>
<p>Be very careful and make sure all the admissions officers know because a lot of applications come with a little "we reserve the right to withdraw your acceptance if:" and I did notice that changing your coarseload without their prior approval was on there. (at least for the school that I applied Early to)</p>
<p>It really depends. If the college accepts you because of your exceptional course load, then changing it may be a problem.</p>
