I’m a freshman and today I switched from the failing hogh school to another at the start of second semester. All my classes matched up except 1. At my old school I took AP Human Geography however; they don’t offer that here, they offer World History. Despite me telling my counselor that everyone from the two different courses are saying it’s pretty similar, she wouldn’t put me in the class, saying she didn’t want to set me up for failure. Instead; she put me in computer science. I actually like the class but I’m just worried the effect that not taking a history class will have on me getting into colleges like ivy leagues. What should I do? Thanks for the help!
What counselor chooses your schedule for you? I would suggest speaking to him/her again and getting it changed. If it’s a semester class, you should be able to drop/change to another semester class before progress reports (or the mid quarter report). They can’t just say no to putting you in a class that’s not even AP or a special case…
