I’m pretty sure taking that extra period won’t hurt since many seniors usually do it and they get to come to school a bit later or leave a bit earlier. I’m just suggesting an art class as a good way to fill up that extra time though. And you don’t have to do an art class, but just any fun elective class. It’s your senior year and I’m sure there’s many of options for you to pick from. My art class senior year was a great way for me to just come in, relax and do some artwork while chatting with friends. The only homework we had was the occasional sketchbooks and looking back, I’m glad that I took that class instead of taking that period off. Photography’s also a great class. Even drama. It might even look good on your application; the fact that instead of just taking all academic AP classes, you also took a ‘creative’ elective.
