<p>My main concern is that Cornell adcoms will view my free period as slack time, when in fact i will be utilizing it to get ahead on ap gov/college apps. There are no other AP classes i can fit in, unless i replace one of the existing courses. So should i fill in the free period with something I enjoy, such as art? Or should i leave it as is?</p>
<p>That’s a lot of AP courses already. You don’t really have to take micro if you’re not interested in a major that would really use that course. The same thing could be said for all AP’s really.</p>
<p>Cornell probably can’t tell from your application whether or not you have a free period during the day. They will go by what your guidance counselor says about your schedule. Will your GC say your schedule is “most challenging” for your school? That is what you want (probably need for a school of Cornell’s caliber). You should consult with your GC about what you need to get that “most challenging” box checked. your schedule looks more than challenging enough to me, but my opinion doesn’t matter for much.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that one free period won’t make you the laughing stock of the adcoms. :D</p>
<p>Just do well with the classes you have on hand (hundo those like a boss) and they will be impressed that you can handle all of those APs at once.</p>
<p>Note: I still very much had the same worries as you did. There was this required class I had to take which lasted for a half semester and I did not want anyone knowing that I had even one free period. So, I took another half semester class after the first one ended (wildlife biology, you are [one of] the easiest class I have ever taken - hundos all around).</p>
<p>I will say this, AP Bio is a b****. but i think they are dropping some stuff from the curriculum so it should be better.
If you are reasonably informed about politics, AP Gov should be a breeze.
If you have concerns about having too much, you should consider dropping something. Cornell won’t scoff at 5 aps instead of 6, but they will be concerned if your senior year grades take a nosedive because you overloaded.</p>
