Notes


As a junior in high school, would colleges think it bad if I didn't take a science course? My schedule didn't have enough room for a science course. I signed up for a science course (Physical Science) online but I'm thinking about dropping it; I have two other AP classes and many extracurricular activities going on as well.

Hi! As long as you are taking an otherwise challenging course load, colleges probably won’t be too concerned that you are not taking a science class. If you take science for three years in high school, that should be fine (unless you are planning on majoring in a science-related field, applying to a science-focused school, or planning to become some sort of scientist, of course)! Talk to your college counselor or guidance counselor about your situation, but don’t stress out too much! Good luck.
