<p>yo, college confidential, I'm in grade 10 right now and for next year i need to decide between sciences and socials. I already completed all the basic science&social classes so that I can take AP Chem .. AP Euro history etc. My question is, "Is it easier to get into good schools like Harvard through sciences or socials? OR is there no harm in showing a little bit of both?</p>
<p>It’s six of one, half dozen of the other.</p>
<p>What I have been hearing on CC and elsewhere, is that schools are looking for a well rounded STUDENT BODY, not necessairly in an individual student. This suggests that if a student is a bit pointy and shows their passion by loading up on EITHER of those areas, it might stand out more. Of course, never forget that your ECs outside of class can be used to bolster certain parts of your resume, as you see fit.</p>
