I just picked my courses for senior year. I am taking very rigorous classes still, and I do not have an easy senior year. How big of an impact does your course load for senior year have? Does it just depend on school, like top schools still want you to be in the most rigorous course? Just wondering because I don’t know if they are that heavily emphasized since you’re a senior. Thank you!
Yes, colleges look at your senior year courseload and how well you do senior year. In addition, if you are looking toward some very competitive colleges (which I suspect is the case from your name) then you should talk to your GC to be sure your schedule is strong enough that he/she can check the box on the recommendation saying you have taken the most rigorous courseload available at your HS.
Okay, thank you!!
