Senior Year and Off Rolls

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm a junior currently in the process of selecting my courses for next year. My school goes by a block schedule, much like the one here:</p>

<p>So for my senior year, I'm currently planning on taking AP Bio, AP Gov, Brit. Lit., and a graphic design course. This leaves with me with one period available every quarter for a off roll, where I can basically leave school. </p>

<p>So my question is how much will colleges like UCLA or UC Berkeley (my first choice) take these off rolls into consideration?</p>

<p>My GPA is 4.1 weighted and 3.8 unweighted. I have taken the following AP courses: Calc AB, Calc BC, CompSci AB, Physics B, Physics C, and Chemistry. I have scored ~2100 on the SAT I and ~800 on the math and physics SAT II. </p>

<p>So what do you guys think? With my current stats, will 4 off rolls my senior year be detrimental to how colleges look at me?</p>

<p>I doubt it will be a detriment to your application. At my school we don’t have block scheduling so we have 9 periods a day, but if their grades are high enough, seniors can leave school a period early, which is what I am doing. Usually, I just go to work during Early Release (which is what we call it). I’ve gotten into all of the schools I applied to so far, still waiting on the last one.</p>

<p>As long as your grades stay up and you still stay involved with extracurriculars, you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>That’s a bit of a relief to hear. Any other opinions?</p>
