Withdrawal from a Senior year course

Applying to College

<p>Hey all, I was wondering how detrimental a withdrawal from a senior year AP course is to my chances for acceptance to a school. I am currently taking 5 AP courses: AP-Euro, US II, Stat, English, Comp Sci. I have recently come to the realization that taking two history courses was an awful idea, because the facts get jumbled in my head, and the work is extreme (especially with my 24/7 hockey schedule). I know it is like halfway through senior year, but i was curious to see how bad it would look if i went through with dropping the class. </p>

<p>I have gotten into: Michigan, Villanova, Rutgers and Penn State.
I am Waiting on: NC State, UNC-Chapel Hill(First choice), UMiami, Boston University, Boston College.</p>

<p>Would pulling myself out of AP Euro kill my chances at these schools?</p>

<p>probably not. when your schools look at your schedual and see that you have 4 other AP’s they will understand. the problem is that you have to notify all of the schools that you dropped the class.</p>

<p>Even to Chapel Hill?</p>

<p>I find out from there next Friday, so if I get rejected I may just go ahead and “drop (Euro) like its hot.” But if I magically get accepted? I start to worry about a withdrawal then…</p>

<p>Drop it and don’t think twice about it. You are not being admitted because of one AP more or less, and you won’t be dropped for that reason.</p>
