Suggestions for Senior year schedule conflictions- Cockrell

<p>Hey guys, so I'm a Senior at a 5A public high school in San Antonio, Texas. I'm working on my application to Cockrell for engineering, and I've done a lot of viewing on this site before when it comes to suggestions for applications. I know that it is heavily suggested to take advanced math and science courses your senior year, which is what I was doing anyway. I signed up for Calculus BC, Physics C, and Chemistry 2 AP. However, there's a problem...</p>

<p>I'm the President of our school's varsity choir program, and I just received a call, ONE WEEK from school, saying that BC conflicts with choir.</p>

<p>I don't know what to do. I'm scared that if I only take AB, my application will be affected tremendously. However, choir is one of my only, if not only, leadership positions I have in school, so I would hate to drop it. Plus I love music in general.</p>

<p>Which would benefit me more, taking BC, or taking AB and keeping my choir class and leadership position?</p>

<p>Just take AB. Most schools don’t even offer BC.</p>

<p>Woah I’m in the exact same situation. I’m putting math over choir because I want to do engineering but I’m just moving to a lower choir. Does your school have other choir periods</p>

<p>I know that for PetE, the higher level math course will definitely show my love of math and ability to challenge myself. But if what you say is true frever, then I guess AB wouldn’t be that bad.</p>

<p>ulovetoy: yeah, we do. I was in one last year as an extra class period. it wasn’t appealing at all, just a bunch of kids messing around. very unprofessional.</p>

<p>Take AB and get a 5, you will need only one semester of calculus. Take BC, you can take an easier Calculus at UT (Multi-variable).</p>

<p>Either way, you are likely to get into UT.</p>

<p>I say take choir. My son did band and choir, took AB (only course offered) and was accepted in ChemE (he did well on the ACT – with a 34)</p>
