Pros/Cons of math-based classes?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I <em>could</em> try to take the most math related courses possible, (physics for science, economics for social science, several math classes, etc) but would it negatively influence colleges that want the "well rounded" student? At the same time, wouldn't that seem driven? I'm not planning on applying to any super competitive colleges, UC's like UCSC and UCSB are probably the most competitive schools I'm considering at the moment. I've thought about applying to Honors Tutorial College at OU as well, but that seems like a high reach for me. </p>

<p>So basically, I'd rather fill as many class slots with math-y courses as possible, but that might mean dropping other classes that will look good...spanish IV, AP sciences (in favor of honors science), more advanced history classes...I will be meeting the A-G requirements for sure, so I'll definitely have 4 years of a science, 2 or 3 years of history, and 3 years of a language.</p>

<p>Am I stupid to put all my eggs in one basket? Or stressing over something colleges won't care about? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I think that’s absolutely fine. Colleges aren’t looking for well-rounded individuals, they’re looking for a well-rounded class. That means they want their science nerds, the writers, the dancers, the musicians, etc- all of these make up a well-rounded class. As long as you are still taking the necessary breath classes (which you will be from your description), you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>Im preety much doing the same thing. Most colleges prefer depth alot more rather than being all-rounded</p>
