I am a senior applying early action this fall, and I’ve always taken the most rigorous curriculum available at my school. I’m considering dropping Spanish for a study hall, because I could really use the 80 minutes- I’m insanely busy and I’m nearly failing Calculus. Right now I am in both Spanish V and Latin V; I would love to hear people’s opinions about what I should do and how Georgetown would perceive a study hall.
I know “insanely busy” is vague, so here are my extracurriculars: Yearbook Editor in chief, violist in prestigious youth orchestra, volunteer 5 hours per week at a PT clinic, president of schools Fiddle Club, Vice President of schools recycling club, Girl Scout working on Gold Award, Co-catechist for 9th grade religious Ed/ youth representative on Pastoral council, recreational soccer.
Sorry for the posts, I’m just really nervous and really want to get in!
Drop Spanish or Latin! My kid’s school requires a study hall every year so they see them all the time. Drop activities if you need to. That poor Calc grade is going to hurt way more than a study hall, and the second semester of Calc is harder than the first.
Okay, Thank you for the response! @Daddio3
