I am deciding between taking python (full year course) or philosophy and contemporary lit (both seem courses) which would look better on my apps?
what are you majoring in? (or have interest in)
assuming you mean the programming language and not some voodoo magic class involving snake blood, i would say python because its probably more useful. philosophy and contemporary lit in most high schools are pretty bs-y.
i assume this is talking about high school. also, you should probably move this to the high school life section
