Senior Scheduling Advice

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>This year (my senior year) I wanted to pack in my schedule with tons of AP and honors classes, but the schedulers really sucked this year so I have:</p>

<p>Jazz Band (1)
People and Politics (.5, required)
AP Econ (1)
Statistics (1)
Acc. Physics (1)
Symphonic Band (1)
and then 1.5 credits worth of study hall</p>

<p>I want to check if another school is offering any good classes during my study halls, but if they aren't I'm not sure what I should do. Should I take lame classes like Gourmet Foods or should I just keep the study hall/release?</p>

<p>If I were you i would switch schools. Only 1 AP senior yr?</p>

<p>Doesn't your school offer any other AP class? The study hall thing seems a little ridiculous...
Your schedule just feels a bit "fluffy."
I would not take a home ec class; frankly, that doesn’t look that much better than study hall.</p>

<p>Our school offers:
AP Calculus (took last year)
AP Language and Composition (took last year)
AP US History (took last year)
AP Lit. and Composition (can't take because I have to take FAME, which is an arts class that also includes Humanities)
AP Euro (conflicts with Acc. Physics and Statistics)</p>

<p>You might want to explain the situation on your application, or get someone to do it for you. I wouldn't switch schools though, that sounds a bit extreme..</p>

<p>Maybe you could take courses at a local university?</p>

<p>yeah, take dual enrollment classes and use the study hall time to prepare for it. It's not an easy class.</p>
