Long story short I was deferred from both NC State and UNC Chapel Hill. My dilemma is that I want to drop my new class this 2nd semester, (1st period AP Human Geo) but my counselor is scared that if I do I won’t get into NC State or UNC because she will have to notify the schools that I am dropping classes. Is this AP Human Geo 2nd semester senior year class really the deciding factor? Currently senior year, I am enrolled in AP calc, AP Physics, AP Literature, AP Bio, and just finished Spanish 3 honors. My mid year grades for these classes and final grade for Spanish will be sent in to NC state and Chapel Hill which were all A’s because I worked my butt off this past semester. Finding out I have Human Geo taking the place of Spanish this semester is overwhelming. That may sound whiny but I really can’t wake up 2 hours earlier in the mornings to go to another AP class. I am already stressed out as it is. Can I drop it and even though the schools will get notified do I still have a chance to get in to these schools? I am also switching my major at NC State to something easier to get into (I applied under engineering early). I am also not really sure why I got deferred from UNC because I thought my stats were good enough. Heres my stats from High school if you need to see them to answer my question:
