Will this count against me?

<p>I found out today that next year (senior year), I won't be able to take psychology and sociology (each one semester) because they can't fit it into my schedule. These would have been my fourth year of social studies. I go to a small school where they only offer four years of social studies, so there was absolutely nothing to replace it with besides gym and study hall (I chose gym).</p>

<p>I'm hoping college won't count this against me. I plan on majoring in engineering and will have five years of math and five years of science when I graduate. I am taking all three of the AP classes my school has. I mainly just don't want to look like a slacker, so will colleges take my situation into consideration when they see that I only have three social studies classes?</p>

<p>ask your guidance counselor to explain this either in his/her letter of rec or on your transcript. as long as the GC accounts for why you didn't take it, you should be fine!</p>
