<p>Well, course selections came really late for us this year, so I need some help...</p>
<p>Here's my schedule so far for Junior year:
AP Chem
AP Bio
AP Euro
Precalc H
Spanish H
English H</p>
<p>I was going to take AP Econ as my 7th course, but our school is only allowing us to take 6 classes this year.</p>
<p>Here are my options for my schedule:
1) Take Band H as 7th course, like I am right now.
2) Independent study Physics C as 7th course (and get the credit)
3) Not take a 7th course and cash in some frees.</p>
<p>(Note: No matter what happens, I am going to self study AP Calc BC (school won't let us skip any math classes for budget reasons...) and AP Physics C (I've already taken B))</p>
<p>So, what do you guys think? I would take band, however:
1) I'm not a great player at my instrument, though I enjoy it, but would like to get rid of the practicing time. However, it is an extra ec.
2) I would stop taking band, but ** I'm not sure if stopping the playing of an instrument when the option to continue to play is available would look bad. [b/] Don't get me wrong, I enjoy playing, but it isn't supremely important to me compared to my other main ECs (math, debate).</p>
<p>From an admissions perspective, which option seems best? 1, 2, or 3? (Note that I have a rigorous course load w/ AP Bio, Chem, and Euro already, w/ Physics C and Calc BC on the side...quitting band would save me time, but would essentially lose a major EC for me...however as noted, I'm not nearly close to anywhere being my school's best player or even making the audition band, so I'm wondering how much of an impact dropping band would make)</p>
<p>(Yes, people, I am tripling up on AP Sciences.)</p>
