is it bad to not take a science junior year?

Applying to College
1

<p>i really have little to no interest in science, and I got into an ap photography class that I really want to take next year. but, the only possible way to take it would be to drop something else, and i don't really want to drop any of my 3 other electives (hehe) so i was thinking of not doing physics honors. is that bad if i am more interested in english/music/arts?
my schedule for next year:
symphony, apush, english honors, precalc, physics honors, japanese 4, spanish 5.
i want to replace physics with AP art studio.
will this hurt my college application?</p>

<p>It depends. What types of colleges are you targeting? The very selective ones require applicants to push themselves academically. If you’re hoping for a spot in a top 50 college, then YES, you diminish your chances because your peers are pushing themselves – even in difficult subject matters.</p>

<p>Best of luck to you</p>

<p>Well, your GC will not likely mark your course load as most rigorous, which could hurt you at highly selective colleges. However, most schools recommend at least 3 years of science, so you can certainly take the class your senior year, if you are confident that it won’t make your senior schedule so overwhelming.</p>

<p>you have physics… in my school that’s a science</p>

<p>As long as you meet your school district’s graduation requirements, you will be fine.</p>

<p>Make an appointment with your guidance counselor, and talk about your goals for your education and your life. He/she should have suggestions for you.</p>

<p>yeah i’m looking toward UCs, liberal arts stuff, nyu, maybe an ivy? yeah i don’t really know though
i guess i should take it. i just really don’t want to haha. do any of you guys know if private schools accept online community college courses? i was thinking about taking history over the summer and it’s accepted by UCs/CSUs, but will it count for private college?
thanks guys~</p>
