So just wondering, if I take an off period in senior year would that hurt admission chances into honor programs (like for UT plan II, LAH etc.) or colleges like Rice, Duke…? I’ve had a full load all three years (band, health, 5 ap core classes etc.) and senior year I have band, AP econ/gov, AP Calc BC, AP Eng. IV, AP Stat, and creative writing. Would colleges view it as ‘lazy’ if I had an off period instead of AP Phys, C (which is in my schedule right now)?
Depends on the college. It seems like you are giving up a core class and keeping electives, though.
For the very top schools I would probably keep AP Physics or replace it with another science class.
