How different: AP Music Theory vs Free Period

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey guys I want to take AP Music Theory but it's been a hassle trying to get it into my schedule I'm considering just dropping it and having a free period. I was wondering how much better my college applications would look with me getting that B or A in AP music theory (along with a 4 or 5 on the AP) as oppose to just that free period (nothing).</p>

<p>I kind've of want to take it but not enough to go back to the couselor multiple times when she's getting impatient and my options are widdling down.</p>

<p>So I was wondering if you guys thought I should take it because it'd help me look alot better on my college application.</p>

<p>BTW I'm a junior and I've been taking music classes all through highschool.</p>

<p>I took AP Music Theory my Sophomore year.</p>

<p>Will AP Music Theory be your eighth class? If it is, then you should only take it if you have some interest, at least, and can read music.</p>

<p>honestly, if you don't have a driving passion to take it, then don't
I know i wouldn't take the class, but i play trumpet in the band so don't think its a - if you don't take it</p>

<p>I took it my senior year and I actually enjoyed it. The test was kind of goofy but oh well. I had a good teacher, but thats not always true for everyone.</p>
