<p>I'm a senior, trying to decide a Honors course drop. </p>

<p>I have three honors currently. The one I'm trying to drop is a history class. School requires students to take history for 3 years but I decided to take it for the forth year. Now I'm trying to drop it for various reasons-among them is the concern that my gpa is likely to go down somewhat because of it.The class may even affect my other courses that require a ton of work.</p>

<p>If I dropped it, I have two choices: a regular history class or a double-up in English, which is one of my strongest subjects. </p>

<p>For top schools, would my choice affect how the colleges view the "rigor" of my course selection? Also, which of the two alternative solutions would be better?</p>

<p>So...honors, or gpa?</p>

<p>Please give me some advice- I'd appreciate it greatly. Thank you soooo much.</p>

<p>"For top schools, would my choice affect how the colleges view the 'rigor' of my course selection?"</p>

<p>Your question should be: "Will my choice affect the rigor of my course load?"</p>

<p>And the answer is yes to both questions--it will make your workload easier. </p>

<p>That said, I'd still advise you to take something you're interested in and will learn in. If you think you'll really benefit from a second english class, go ahead and take it.</p>

<p>GPA is more important than +/- one honors course.</p>
