<p>I'm a senior applying early decision to Cornell. Due to schedule conflicts, I have not been able to take as many classes as I usually do. Having to sacrifice AP Spanish, I am currently left with:
AP Chem
AP Bio
BC Calc
AP English
Wind Ensemble Honors </p>
<p>Would that still count as a "rigorous" senior schedule? Granted, my guidance counselor said she would make a special note of my situation, but would my current schedule be of any disadvantage to me?</p>
<p>take a 6th class</p>
<p>Thanks for the quick reply. Are you saying that taking only 5 classes would put me at a disadvantage?</p>
<p>If I’m looking to apply to Cornell Engineering, should I add another class (AP Statistics)?
Does Cornell put a lot of emphasis on the rigor of senior schedules?</p>
<p>ya, most people (from my experience) take either 6 or 7. ( I don’t even think my school allows someone to take under 6 classes) :/</p>
<p>I’d like to add on to the OP’s question. </p>
<p>I got stuck with only five classes as well, and what I’m understanding is that having less than six puts one at a disadvantage. Would it be satisfactory if I’m also taking two community college courses in addition to the five high school ones?</p>
<p>Oh, in that case, your fine</p>
<p>Yeah, two community college classes are very helpful in getting college credits and boosting your college app (college credit WITHOUT AP test), although it would be better if you can take 6 classes at your school.</p>
