No AP English Lit Senior Year

Applying to College
1

<p>My school runs on a semester schedule, so we start with new classes in January.
In August, when I was setting up my schedule for the entire year, I had no conflicts. But when I had to make a small change last week because enrollment for a new class finally opened, I found out that teachers' schedules for next semester changed since then.</p>

<p>Schedule (as intended):
Computer Science II Honors (Intended to be AP Comp Sci AB, but not yet approved)
AP English Lit
AP Calculus BC
AP Physics C</p>

<p>Schedule (as would appear after changes):
Computer Science II Honors
English IV (Regular Level)
AP Calculus BC
AP Physics C</p>

<p>How would my new schedule look for top colleges? Would they take issue to it? Could I receive hassle from University of Chicago, where I was offered early admission (my SSR included AP Lit)? AP Lit at my school is a joke, and I'd learn much more from Computer Science, Calc BC, or Physics C. I'd rather not drop one of these courses to make room for AP Lit.</p>

<p>I scored a 5 in English Lang last semester, if that makes everything look any better....</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>As long as you explain the situation to them/get your counselor to (that's probably best because it's official) they are likely to understand.</p>

<p>what did you score on Physics B?</p>

<p>I think it should be alright. Send a letter ASAP explaining the situation and then have your college counselor call or fax or mail a letter to them explaingin how you can't take AP English. Im pretty sure they will understand.</p>

<p>Thanks. I spoke with my dean today and she did allow me to drop to regular level English if I did additional work and pledge to take the AP Lit exam (which I was going to do anyway). </p>

<p>I talked to the regular English 4 teacher, and since she also has a couple of AP Lit classes, she told me that she's going to give me all of the AP work instead of the regular work.</p>

<p>My counselor is going to include all this in my mid year report, so colleges should see it there.</p>

<p>I just took Physics B this semester, so I can't take the exam until May.</p>
