<p>I was just wondering, in one's freshamn year do law schools look at the number of classes you take and your schedule? I have 5 classes right now, and the only problem is my german history class. It is very interesting but the teacher just assumes that you should know at least something about Germany to take this class. I do, but the readings are boring and I may fall behind. Due to grade infaltion though I am expecting nothing lower than a B in the class. So do I drop it and get a higher GPA or stick it out probably get a B but have a harder schedule on my transcript? Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Probably not the most helpful advice ever, but your post doesn't indicate that there's any good reason for you to fall behind. If the class is interesting, you know something about the material, your school inflates grades, and your only problem is that the readings are boring, then there's no good reason you can't keep up (and law school might be a strange place to head).</p>
<p>I'm a firm believer in taking what interests you without excessive regard for any admissions counselors looming three years down the road, but sometimes I'm the minority in that respect. If, as your original post suggests, you like the class and you know the material, then you should do fine and may as well stay put. If you don't like the class or don't think you have the capability to do well, then that's another story.</p>
<p>If your excuses don't sound convincing now (and they don't), I doubt they'll sound convincing three years from now.</p>
<p>if you drop classes with boring reading and some assumption of prior knowlege, how are you going to get through law school? </p>
<p>sorry...(i say this as someone who's procrastinating on reading about future estates...even people who love law school--and so far, i do--find certain classes or topics a lot more interesting than others).</p>
<p>Five classes is a hard schedule? :)</p>
