<p>How do colleges view a student that has moved during high school?</p>
<p>I'll be a senior next year but I moved cross country during the spring of my junior year. Will colleges take this into considerations(sp?) when they look at my application? I have kept my grades up in all my classes but, because I ended up moving so late in the year my course load for the second semester of my junior year was really weak (only one AP and one honors the rest had to be filled with PE and electives).</p>
<p>Also, because of the move, will colleges be able to overlook my lack of leadership? Should I even try to join clubs at my new school and try to gain leadership positions in them or would this look bad because I was only in them for senior year?</p>
<p>I am really freaking out right now because at my new school they have this Health Careers path that students can take which basically gives them the most rigorous course load the school offers, plus lots of opportunities for internships and even jobs at the local hospital. In addition, my new school won't give me the weighted credit any of my honors or IB courses from my old school, so compared to others in my class I fell that it makes me look like a slacker:( </p>
<p>Is there any possible way that that this move could have a positive impact on my college apps? Like would the fact that I maintained good grades and a rigorous senior year course load give me any edge?</p>
