What will admissions officers think?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello everyone, i have one quick question for anyone willing to help out there. What do/will adcoms think of co-op on my schedule? For those of you who are not familiar with co-op, it is a program we have at my school where it fills in two sets of 1 1/2 hour period slots that i get to leave campus and go to work. Normally any schedule at my school would consist of 4 sets of 1 1/2 hour slots, being a mixture of electives and core classes, with a release time of 3:30. My schedule allows me to leave campus at 12:20 and is as follows:</p>

<p>1st. AP Government and AP Economics
2nd. AP Chemistry
3rd and 4th. Co-op</p>

<p>Next Semester.</p>

<ol>
<li> AP Chemistry</li>
<li>AP Statistics
3rd and 4th. Co-op</li>
</ol>

<p>So with this being said, my question to you is, does this affect my application when I am applying to colleges? Do admissions officers look at this much time not in school and think poorly of me? Do they feel that with the rest of my classes being all AP's, this balances out? Does having co-op not bother them at all? Thanks for the help everyone.</p>

<p>Also. The requirement for co-op is to work 15 hours a week. i work closer to 25 hours a week if i am lifeguarding. (I hold 2 jobs)</p>

<p>It depends on the guidance counselor. If he/she checks “most rigorous courseload,” then you have no problem. If they check “very rigorous” but not “most rigorous,” then that will not help you.</p>

<p>Have you checked to make sure you fulfill the admissions requirements for the the schools you are interested in? Many schools require four years of English.</p>

<p>so an0maly it all boils down to how the admissions officer percieves it?</p>
