Should I drop a class?

Applying to College
1

<p>This is my first semester senior year schedule: ap economics, ap physics, ap spanish, yearbook (i'm an editor), teacher aide for drama (I'm a thespian so it's just continuing my involvement) and a directed study on neuroscience, plus cross country, several clubs, charity involvement,and a job. </p>

<p>Since I do not have a lit credit on my first semester transcript (even though I don't need one), I am thinking about taking it online as a 7th class although I think it would be very tough because of my very busy schedule. </p>

<p>The thing is, because I got a 5 on ap lang last year, all I only need to take a semester of community college lit 2nd semester to graduate. I have a 4.0 and a 34 on my ACT, so will it look bad to colleges if I do not have a lit credit on my first-semester transcript? Should I just take the extra class online? I am looking at schools such as BU and Vanderbilt.</p>

<p>no. you’ll be fine. One semester college work usually equals one year high school work equivalence.</p>

<p>You should be fine for those schools. Just be sure to specify when applying that you will be taking a CC literature class second semester, so they know you are not just dropping english altogether</p>
