Switching Electives

<p>In my high-school, we just started a new semester couple days ago. I had a couple of a new classes, one that caught my eye for the worse was an elective titled, "Electricity." Before dropping the class, I decided to check it out: it was terrible. The class was so dull. The syllable said we would be experimenting with very simple topics; going no further than resistors and conductors (I am currently in AP Physics, and we have already covered electricity). I consulted my guidance, and she suggested I switch to Peer Tutoring. So I did. Was this a bad decision? Will MIT and other schools frown up this switch?</p>

<p>Why would this even come up? Is “switched electives” something that shows up on your transcript?</p>

<p>MIT really won’t care, like, at all. Tutoring people seems like a better use of your time anyway.</p>

<p>As a general rule, you should probably do what you find fun and interesting. You probably should not do things you do not find fun and interesting just because you think MIT admissions office would want you to do them (unless it’s, like, the SAT subject tests or something). The same probably goes for pretty much everything else in life, at least career-wise, if you’re privileged enough to have the choice.</p>
