I agree with collegehopefull; a lot of top schools repeatedly state that one of the most important factors is that you’re taking the most rigorous schedule available. If you have a free period when you could be taking a hard class, that probably doesn’t look good. They’re looking for students who can thrive in top-tier colleges, so you should prove that you can do well in whatever your high school offers, unless it’s a really hard high school.

…but you never really know what affects admission, and I wouldn’t recommend killing yourself senior year just to get into college. Not worth it.
