Which Class Would Look Better On My Transcript?

<p>Applying as an International Political Economy major to my first choice SFS at Gtown, which would they prefer to see? </p>

<p>Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences- Air Pollution
Diversity in my courses, I would almost certainly get an A, gets rid of
a general education requirement at my current school. Also, I haven't
taken any other life or physical sciences.<br>
Cultural Geography
Shows focus and direction in my class choices. I would enjoy it more,
but from what I hear it's a little tougher. I would have to petition to get
into it as it is one unit more than the A&0 class and would push me
over the unit cap of 19. </p>

<p>Overall, I just don't want my schedule to look easy, and I am afraid the Air Pollution class looks that way. I am also taking a year-long interdisciplinary class about America in the 1960s, History of Western Civilization (ancient world), and Chinese 2 (I am not Chinese btw.) </p>

<p>Thanks for your input!</p>

<p>i'd go with the cultural geography...unless the A&O course fills up some requirement at Gtown....otherwise, it'd be horribly random....</p>

<p>I disagree. Nothing about "Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences- Air Pollution" looks easy to me. I think this is yet another example of College Confidential member overthinking.</p>

<p>doesn't matter how easy or hard it is....it's all about relative importance of courses....cultural geography would work towards your major and would likely satisfy credits towards your degree....in the end, important classes count more than electives.....</p>

<p>Actually I looked over it again--I had assumed it filled a requirement at Gtown. I agree with you--if it doesn't then I'd go with the other one.</p>
