<p>My school has block scheduling. As a result, if I take Ap bio, ill have to take honors us history rather than ap. How will colleges know about this conflict, or will they? I'm worried that they will believe I chose to opt out of ap us due to its rigor rather than scheduling dillemmas. </p>
<p>They won’t know about specific schedule conflicts, but they’re reasonable and they know that in many cases it’s not logistically possible to take all the advanced classes offered. If you’re really worried about it, why couldn’t you take AP US History next year?</p>
<p>The GC can address it in the Secondary School Report, if needed. To halcyonheather’s point, though, can’t you push one of the classes to the following year?</p>
<p>colleges don’t care about every little scheduling conflict. It’s fine. The only time a scheduling conflict is worth noting IMO is if it affects a class that shows dedication (ie arts like music- being forced to drop it) or if scheduling conflicts make it absolutely impossible to take a course that they highly recommend or require for admissions.</p>
<p>@guineagirl96 would you consider APUSH a course that is highly recommended for admission? </p>
<p>
No. Highly recommended would be, for example, calculus BC for a highly ranked engineering program or 4 years of the same foreign language. Even then, it’s not always a deal breaker.</p>
<p>@somilgo no, since you are still taking US history. Its not which version of the course you take that matters, but the course itself. Im talking about things like not being able to take a 4th year of language because of a scheduling conflict (shows you wanted to go above and beyond, but weren’t able to).</p>
<p>@halcyonheather @skieurope same deal the next year. I would have to give up Calc, Chem or Physics for APUSH, and I really want to take those subjects. </p>
