<p>DO IT. DROP DOWN. trust me OP, you don’t want to spend the end of your junior year regretting this (not that I would know or anything…). don’t be a perfectionist, be practical. if your GC’s getting mad for dropping, well, it’s really not his thing to deal with. it’s yours, and you know how your time is being balanced better than anyone else. DON’T push yourself. you have EC’s and you still have a rigorous schedule if you drop down in just 1 class (honors is no cake walk either anyways). trust me, you’ll be fine. you don’t want all your grades or ECs to end up suffering because one class took up too much of your time. </p>
<p>it sounds like you’ve already thought about this, and you already know what’s best for you. you just seem worried about colleges. trust me, it won’t make that much of a difference</p>
