Online Class?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey guys,
I am deciding on my senior year schedule but I have 2 main questions. </p>

<ol>
<li>Do colleges think online classes are bs classes? </li>
<li>I am in a dilemma on which class I should take next year. Here are my choices:
-Differential Equations-Online(through another university; school doesnt provide this class)
-Calculus 3/Multivariable- classroom setting at nearby top 100 National University
-Economics elective class- classroom setting at nearby top 30 university with a strong business/econ department </li>
</ol>

<p>I got an 84(a C in my school) my sophomore year in Cac BC,but I was a knucklehead then. I feel confident I can get an A in those calculus courses. I want to know which one is best for business school. I want to show them that I am interested in Econ/Business and also that I have the quantitative skills to succeed. Thanks! </p>

<p>Why did you take BC your sophomore year?!!!
And what did you do for math this semester?</p>

<p>Note that you’d get more answers if your thread title were clearer… (remember this for future threads)</p>

<p>Anyway, if you’re confident you can do well, take Calc 3 at the nearby university * and actually do well*. A good performance in a college class taken in high school is (shocking!) the best predictor of success in a college class so these grades will be scrutinized. Conversely, a C or D in a college class will impress absolutely no one. In addition, plan your Spring semester schedule with another university class (doesnt have to be math - could be Economics! = Remember that college classes are only 1 semester long :slight_smile: – on CommonApp, you’ll be asked to provide your Spring semester schedule too so you’ll be able to indicate you plan on taking Econ 101 at a university).</p>
