The problems with study hall.

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I took study hall in my junior year because i thought i couldn't handle my schedule. I'm taking 4 ap, an honors class, and french 4 and i'm actually doing completely fine in my classes without too much overload.</p>

<p>I really regret taking study hall because i dropped orchestra for it (i was really not enjoying that class).</p>

<p>Would it be okay if i make up for it through a much more rigorous senior year schedule (5 ap, multivariable, and human anat) that i feel i am able to handle?</p>

<p>I am hoping that study hall won't kill my chances of an out of state, possibly ivy league college.</p>

<p>It definitely won’t hurt your chances as long as the rest of your course load is solid. If you find you don’t need it, just don’t take a study hall senior year and instead take something that interests you.</p>

<p>I had a study hall junior year and I did well enough.</p>

<p>Thanks! :smiley: i’m taking a much harder scheule senior year that is more geared towards science.</p>

<p>I was just worried because the few juniors i know taking study hall are taking harder classes than me.</p>

<p>Plus the whole commitment thing with orchestra >.></p>

<p>This is quite a dire situation.</p>

<p>Ah it is ? …; is it really bad? Because i quit orchestra, i’m continuing french and am going on to ap french next year. Will that help any?</p>

<p>The most dire I’ve seen all morning.</p>

<p>So…i’m screwed?</p>

<p>We’re being sarcastic because it’s not dire at all and there’s nothing you can do to “fix” it - your schedule this year is obviously not going to change. Take whatever you want next year.</p>

<p>If your doing fine, just do something else i guess. As long as you don’t catch senioritis and your GPA start slipping :/</p>

<p>I don’t think colleges mind study halls much (or whether you take 6 or 7 classes), as long as the courses you are taking are rigorous.</p>

<p>It’s a study hall. Colleges don’t care as long as your other classes don’t consist of “Honors Sewing” and “Honors Knitting Circle”. Embrace the study hall. Do your homework in there. Sleep. Go somewhere other than your assigned teacher and chill with your friends. As long as your grades are fine colleges really don’t care.</p>

<p>Ahh, the typical naive CCer.
No, colleges don’t care whether you dropped orchestra. It doesn’t show “lack of commitment.”</p>
