<p>How important is a fine arts class in admissions?</p>

<p>I don't have any arts credits at all, and I sat in on the first day of Fine Arts Survey today and it sucksssss. I have no friends in the class; it's filled with juniors and I'm a senior.</p>

<p>Now, I'm wondering whether to take it or have an off hour. I'm looking at basically 1st and 2nd tier schools, and plan on doing engineering of some sort, if it matters.</p>

<p>Thanks all!</p>

<p>For the record, my schedule is extremely rigorous. I'm taking 6 other classes, like english, spanish4, calc, western civ, chem3: organic, and physics2</p>

<p>I didn't take any fine arts...</p>

<p>I don't know about the very difficult admission schools, but most schools couldn't care less, they would be thrilled to have an applicant with your credentials.</p>

<p>If you have any interest in applying to the UC system, you will not be eligible for admission unless you have one year of fine arts in high school.</p>
