<p>So I'm a high school junior right now and I'm planning on focusing on and art-related major when I go to college. I'm going to apply to various liberal arts colleges and art colleges around the east coast. My issue is the importance of taking certain classes senior year. The schedule I want to have consists of AP Literature, AP Spanish, AP Studio art (double period), Tech, Education Internship (also double period), and AP Statistics. However, my counselor has told me that liberal arts colleges want to see at least 4-5 academic classes in you senior year. Any advice on if I should actually change my schedule, or if you have experienced a similar crisis when you were in high school would be greatly appreciated. Anything about what you know specific colleges look for (like UMD or even schools like Brown) would be helpful as well.</p>
<p>I guess I would go with what your counselor told you. BTW good look with Spanish AP(that’s a class im trying to drop right now)</p>
<p>It’s your senior year.
By that point, I’d pick what you want, and focus in what you plan to do.</p>
<p>You should have, generally, 5 academic classes each year. AP Spanish Lang is easy. SLit is tough as nails, so bear that in mind. Do you really need your education internship? I’m not entirely sure what that is, but you need to show to the colleges that you’re not taking an intentionally hamstringed schedule senior year.</p>
