For 1st semester, I will have 4 APs, PE, and orchestra.
For 2nd, I will be done with PE, so should I take the free period, or stuff another semester class in? This is after college applications, but would it affect admission if they see I have a free period?
I doubt it would affect admissions very much, but the guidance counselor might not check the “most rigorous” option on your application for the transcript. That plays a small part in their decision. I’d say add another class.
take something fun during the 2nd semester.
