<p>Hey I'm a sophomore in high school in Northern VA and I was just wondering, do online classes look good to colleges? My top choices as of now are UVa, NYU, Georgetown, William and Mary, and maybe Fordham. My GPA unweighted is about 3.7ish. I am taking AP World, Geometry HN, Chemistry HN, English 10 HN, Spanish 3, Accounting, and P.E./Driver's Ed. The only ECs so far this year are FBLA (which I am pretty involved in by going to every national, regional and states conferences along with some other stuff), It's Academic (which is a quiz bowl type thing), Model UN, and I created a Forensics Debate Club.
THANKS!</p>
<p>Oh and I want to major in finance</p>
<p>I think that generally, and unless you’re at a remote rural high school with limited academics, that online classes are not a good use of your time, and that they would not improve your chances at selective colleges.</p>
<p>I go to a brand new school (like 5 years or so?) and they barely have any ECs and they don’t really have too many classes to offer. I live in a populous sub urban area. Thanks though!</p>
<p>Also, how am I doing so far?</p>
<p>Be aware that some colleges will not give credit for any college classes taken before you enroll. These colleges will typically only give credit for AP tests/classes taken in high school before high school graduation. </p>
<p>I know of another college that refuses to give any credit for any online course.</p>
<p>Thanks charlieschm
But could anyone tell me how I am doing so far, grades are above
Thanks everybody</p>
