<p>I have always taken the hardest classes in high school since freshman year. I took every AP & honors class that was offered, and I'm even doing a class at a local university this year.<br>
This year I'm taking a study hall since I know that my workload would seriously be unmanageable without one (i'm taking 3 AP classes, 1 honors class, 1 class at a local university, and I'm doing many EC's and trying to fill out college apps).
Would the good colleges (JHU, notre dame, etc) look down on this?</p>
<p>No, they will not. It sounds like you are taking the most rigorous classes and that will be what the GC will indicate.</p>
