senior year courses

Applying to College

<p>How much will senior year courses affect admissions to colleges? If you're already at a match for a college, but you take... say Teacher's Aide instead of Physiology, will they reject you? Does one non A-G or College prep affect you that badly?</p>

<p>So, I'm just wondering if things like these will matter a LOT or will they be minute things.</p>

<p>Since it probably varies for different colleges, I'm talking about mid-tier UC's like UC Irvine and Santa Barbara, and safety colleges like UC Riverside. I'm lazy. I'm already taking 5 classes, but I still have one AP class.</p>

<p>What counts most is junior year. Senior, not so much, just don't completely slack off. If you were taking 5 AP's junior year, and senior you're taking no math and no science and intro photo and home ec, that would look bad.</p>

<p>anymore opinions?</p>

<p>Colleges, especially the more selective ones, don't like to see a slacking off in the intensity of your classes during your senior year, unless you have already exhausted your HS's offerings of College prep courses.</p>
