@JBStillFlying That’s great to know. I always assumed that colleges would like to see that I’m taking classes that fit my major… Unfortunately, it’s too late to change my schedule for next semester, so I’ll still be taking Abnormal Psychology.
As for next year, my schedule will be consisted of all dual enrollment classes.
First semester I plan to take:
- Composition 1
- College Prep Math
- Intro. to Biology
- Anatomy and Physiology w/ Lab
- Intro. to Lit
Second Semester I plan to take:
- Composition 2
- College Algebra & Trig.
- Developmental Psychology
- A speech class
- Some class related to Political Science
How does my senior year schedule look? I’ll probably take your advice and get rid of Developmental Psych.
I’m taking College Prep Math next semester (as a junior) and it goes on to the first semester of next year. I chose to take this class so that it would better prepare me for College Algebra & Trig because I think I need the extra help. Plus, The class has only two people in it, and I was told that I would get to help determine the layout of the course (I figure I can focus on my weak areas corresponding to the ACT).
As for a hook, I don’t really have one. I mean, I’m a gay student that goes to a Catholic school? That doesn’t give much insight to my character, though. I’d appreciate any ideas on how I can make myself stand out on my application. I’m out of state, but I’m from Iowa so it’s not that far away.
