<p>I'm applying early decision to NYU in a month. As soon as i get the results after i take the October SATs, I'm going to send out my application.</p>
<p>I know it's probably a small part of the admissions, but I wanted to know if someone could give me some advice on my schedule for senior year.</p>
<p>As of right now I'm taking:</p>
<p>AP European History
Choir
Psychology
AP English Lang/Lit
AP Italian
Trigonometry
and Sociology/ US History through the Movies</p>
<p>My options are to change Trig to Calculus but drop out sociology and take a study hall in its place.</p>
<p>So my question is: would it look better if i took Calculus and a study hall or if I stuck with Trig and Sociology?</p>
<p>Hmm... Well I'm a senior too. But, I think it depends on your major/school. If you want to go into Stern or any mathematics/science major, I say go with Calc as you already have a history class. Or do that if you really enjoy math. But, if you are more of a humanities person, go with your current schedule. Both are well-rounded, so you should be fine.</p>
<p>If you can, go for Calc, it looks a whole lot better. Sociology is just an unimportant elective. Don't take Calc and fail though, that wouldn't be so hot especially since Stern is like all about math. </p>
<p>I'm taking Trig right now, like the advanced stuff. In NYC, it's called Math B. It's the slowest math class actually, all the other smart asians are in AP Calculus AB/BC. <_<</p>
<p>Unless you are a total math geek and love it to no end, skip calculus and stick with trig. You have no idea how many "okay with math" kids end up hitting a brick wall with calc. With three APs this year, you don't need to look any more impressive. You risk getting a bad grade with calc. Just stick with trig/soc and get the best grades you can. Tisch won't care about calc, just that you have great grades and are taking a full schedule.</p>
