<p>I'll do an internship with a local newspaper during my senior year. The thing is, it will take up almost half of my schedule. So I'm left with some core classes, and some credit to graduate. It'll look like something like this:
AP English
AP French
AP Gov
Art/ theater/ choir etc.</p>
<p>Then in the second semester, I'll probably drop AP French for PE, Art for some classes that I need to graduate.</p>
<p>1) Will the lack of math and science in my schedule do me harm in college admission?
2) If I drop 3/4 classes above to take lighter classes to satisfy graduation requirements, will colleges rescind my acceptance?</p>
<p>thank you</p>
<p>This depends are where you want to attend college. Some/many/most(?) colleges expect their incoming freshman to have 4 years of HS math & science. Also, many/most don’t want “senioritist” or even the perception of such. For most schools it won’t look good unless you can prove that you weren’t sluffing off. Sounds like you should talk with a professional (i.e college academic advisor) about this. </p>
<p>Good luck!!</p>
<p>I already have had 4 units of math and science over the year. It is just that in order to graduate, I’ll need to take these classes…</p>
<p>There’s usually a section on the application where you can explain your situation. Then they’ll know that you weren’t not taking math and science classes just because you were being lazy.</p>
<p>When you apply, the universities will probably ask you to list your senior year courses. They may rescind admissions if you change afterward (particularly to easier courses) or get poor grades.</p>
<p>Would they think I’m slacking off by avoiding math or science? Would they also think I’m shying away from math and science because I’ve had Bs in those subjects before?</p>
