<p>Here’s the deal:</p>
<p>I signed up for two half-credit classes, one of them was a PE class (stupid PE graduation requirement). When I received my schedule, it did not list the PE class; my guidance counselor said that I have been assigned to a study hall. I planned to take two sciences in my senior year, but now I can only take one (physics) because I plan to apply to Harvard and Stanford. I also don’t want to give up French in my senior year. I am going to e-mail the scheduling lady and ask her if there are any PE classes in the second semester that I could take. In the event that she days no, should I:</p>
<li>Take the study hall and enjoy it </li>
<li>Take the study hall and see if I can take a community college PE class and use it as a graduation credit</li>
<li>Take a community college or public university class in anatomy & physiology (the other science class) in the fall of my senior year</li>
</ol>
<p>Any more ideas or suggestions? Any would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Well, hopefully the second sem PE class will be available. (Around here PE is held every pd and it's hodge podge mish mash of students of all grades. This allows anyone to use it as a filler or meet the grad req at any time.)</p>
<p>In addition to your other ideas, maybe you can get an athletics waiver for PE. That is, play a sport and it counts for PE credit. We don't have the option here, but I've heard of it happening in some places. </p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Are you a rising junior? If so, you could put off the PE requirement one more year - but if you're a senior, you need to get on those grad requirements ASAP.</p>
<p>I think you should try to get rid of that study hall in order to take a for-credit class, instead. My school loves to give out study halls and it seems like every year I'm back in the guidance office to have a study hall switched off of my schedule. I don't know how your guidance office works, but my school is pretty good about making schedule changes. It's worth a shot, anyway.</p>
