<p>I'm currently taking 4 ap classes and I want to switch out of ap biology and take pe volleyball. I know the story of taking basket weaving, but I would like to know if this switch would negatively effect my college admissions. I applied to 5 uc schools. My first choice is ucla. I have a overall college weighted gpa of 4.63 and extracurriculars like kiwins community service club for 4 years, lieutanr governor of kiwins, jv volleyball, 175 hours of community service, and a 1940 on my sat. I'm also vice president and co founder of national honor society, treasurer of California scholarship federation, and I'm in asb. Will this slight senioritis effect my admission into ucs, ucla in particular?</p>
<p>here's what my counselor has been telling me for the past 4 years.
When you apply to a school and send in your transcripts, it's kind of like a contact in that you are bound to take those classes unless you otherwise notify the school. In your case, I would tell those schools that you're changing classes. If you don't, I believe that it's reason enough for them to rescind an offer. </p>
<p>As for college admissions, I don't know the schools that well, but I'm thinking that it will influence their decision negatively. There are many other applicants who will not do the same thing you are, and perhaps this will be a tip factor.</p>
<p>Can i ask why in particular you want to drop out of AP bio and take pe volleyball?? Those two have no correlation.</p>
<p>My sister was admitted to Columbia ED and really wanted to drop Linear Algebra. So she sent the school an email saying that if Linear Algebra was part of the basis for her admission that she would gladly continue to take the course but for reasons a) she didn't have a good instructor b)she would end up needing to retake it in college c)it was online and was challenging to coordinate; it took a few weeks to respond but the emailed her back and said it was fine to drop it. I'd send an email like that stating why you don't think it's a good idea to continue taking the class. If you can't come up with a reasonable reason, I wouldn't even bother sending the email, you'll just come off like a slacker even if you aren't. Just a note, my sister actually dropped it because she had a C, it was too hard, and the instructor was terrible. Even if your grade isn't good, coming up with a few believable reasons makes it seem better (for lack of a better word).</p>
