I’m about to sign up for my junior-year classes and I was wondering if it would be smarter to drop an elective course for the purpose of attaining a higher GPA (I have a 4.2 right now). By doing so, I will only have one elective for the entire year and an open period. Is this a good decision or should I try to take another elective?
<p>I would personally take another elective, because I think that an open period may look as though you aren't taking the "most rigorous courses available" (this is especially important junior year). Just take a fairly easy one though, don't load on any more APs or honors if you think that you won't be able to juggle it all. I am far from an expert though, so do what you think is best for you.</p>
