<p>I have one more question.
My best friend (she's rank 1 btw) always told me how i was stupid to take such a non academic course as yearbook in my junior year. She's like it's going to lower your UWGPA and it's so unacademic... That really bugged me but I really wanted to do yearbook using my photoshop skills so I did yearbook and I'm doing it again in my senior year. Is yearbook so significantly bad for your transcript?</p>
