What do colleges think of high school internships?

<p>Right now I'm thinking about substituting my fifth science credit course (AP Biology) with an internship. My school will allow me to do it--I'm just wondering whether or not it will look good/okay/acceptable on my college application.</p>

<p>I'm a junior, and I've already completed all of my science and math core class requirements (4 years of science and 4 years of math). Those aren't my best subjects, and while I know that colleges like to see a schedule including all subject areas, there are only AP classes left as my options. I DON'T want to do badly in an AP class. So I'm hoping to do an internship instead of taking those classes.</p>

<p>By the way, my best subject is English/Creative Writing, and I'm taking a creative writing course at a cc right now.</p>

<p>This is my current courseload:</p>

<p>1st period: Honors US History
2nd period: AP Lang and Comp
3rd period: AP Biology
4th period: Multimedia Level II
5th period: Internship
6th period: Creative Writing (at the community college)
French III Honors (online)</p>

<p>Everyone in my grade has an internship (My school has it scheduled for the last period of the day). Most students have their fifth and sixth period as internship, but I opted for Dual Enrollment. My counselor said that the only way I could get out of my Bio class (which is abhorrent because the teacher can’t teach) is to take an equally difficult math class or have a second internship period then. At this point, I’m striving for a second internship period; I just want to alleviate some of my worries.</p>

<p>An internship at Miami Book Fair International: <a href=“http://www.miamibookfair.com/”>http://www.miamibookfair.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Help, Please. Any college admissions officers?</p>

<p>Anyone who just happens to know? </p>

<p>Wouldn’t hurt.</p>
