TOO MUCH government?

Pre-College Topics High School Life
1

<p>I am interested in political science/international relations as a major in college.</p>

<p>So far, I have taken:
- American Government Honors
- World History Honors
- AP Macroeconomics</p>

<p>I am enrolled in:
- AP Microeconomics
- Girls State (dual enrollment) American Government</p>

<p>Next year I plan to take:
- AP U.S. History</p>

<p>I am thinking about possibly taking AP U.S. Government & Politics. </p>

<p>Is this too much government? Will colleges look upon this favorably, or will they just equate it to an athlete taking Personal Fitness, Team Sports, Advanced Weight Training, and Gym?</p>

<p>Thanks for any and all advice!</p>

<p>if you’re interested in it, take it.</p>

<p>It probably isn’t too much if it’s a subject you like. They will look at it “favorably”, I guess, since it shows passion for an area, but many other students take many subjects that they like as well.</p>

<p>Take it.</p>

<p>That would be 7 history credits, right?</p>

<p>Same thing as a science nerd taking every possible science class they could (I graduated with 6 math credits, 7 science credits).</p>

<p>If you’re interested, take it.</p>

<p>I would think colleges would look favorably upon taking classes in your interests. I hope they do or I may have problems lol.</p>

<p>Honestly, you’ll be fine! You don’t even have all that many governmental courses! =)</p>

<p>I took:</p>

<p>World History Honors
AP Euro
AP US History
AP US Government
AP Comparative government
AP Macroeconomics
AP Microeconomics
American Foreign Policy
American Multiculturalism
Criminology</p>

<p>Yeah, 5 of those were online because my school doesn’t offer them, but I love them.</p>

<p>There’s nothing wrong with taking classes in what you’re interested in. :)</p>

<p>hey that’s what your interested in, then take as many classes on it as you want. BUT, make sure that the classes aren’t teaching the same exact thing.</p>

10

<p>go for it. I took 6 1/2 credits of social studies (history, economics, psychology, government, philosophy, geography, alaska studies) because I love the classes. For the most part it shows passion and focus (and should be no problem at all to colleges)</p>

11

<p>I took 5 Spanish classes, 3 American Sign Language classes, and 2 Japanese classes throughout my high school career.</p>

<p>If anything, it helped me show colleges a passion.</p>
