Best Elective?

I’m very interested in fashion marketing, but I’m not sure what elective would help me most.

We do have a fashion marketing class in my school, but (for obvious reasons) it’s not weighted. However, classes like AP psychology and extra languages can better my application.

What would be better to apply to? Fashion marketing may lower my GPA, but it could show colleges I’m dedicated. Psychology is also a class I wanted to take for a while, but it may look like I’m just trying to suck up to my grades. I can’t decide which would be better, please help!

What’s your schedule like?
Are you targeting, for instance, Marist? Or a CSU?

?

I’m not sure what either are.

Google is your friend. Both marist and several CSU’s have excellent fashion-related majors. NCSU also has textile tech.
Your choice of elective depends on the selectivity of the college you’re aiming for.

What colleges are you aiming for?
CSU stands for “California State University”. Marist is an LAC in NYS.

I’d say that as long as you have your five core classes covered, do what you love!

Taking fashion marketing at your school doesn’t necessarily show much dedication much the same way taking a foods class doesn’t necessarily show dedication to being a chef. If you want to be safe, the AP looks more impressive but it probably doesn’t really make a difference in the end.
