<p>Which looks better on a college application:</p>
<p>30 additional community service hours on top of 200+ hours</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>1 or 2 additional Community College Course(s)</p>
<p>CC courses since you already have so many community service hours</p>
<p>Whichever you’ll enjoy more. Sure, a CC class will look good, but if you hate it and get a D, then which will look better? THe community services hours or the D?</p>
<p>bump…bump</p>
<p>Whichever one you are more interested in doing, and that matches your natural interests and passions. Really, this is the truth. Neither one of those options is naturally better than is the other. What does matter is which one you’re most interested in.</p>
<p>okay…take this into consideration</p>
<p>A fourth year of Spanish vs 30 more hours of community service.</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>An AP Physics equivalent vs 30 more hours of community service.</p>
<p>It really isn’t necessary but I think spanish would look good since most of the colleges I’m applying to require 2 years and recommend 3.</p>
<p>I will have both Honors Bio and Chem as sciences but physics will look good as well. I have taken physical science, which the UC system classifies as an elective so would private colleges classify it as a science?</p>
<p>I do not plan to use spanish that much in my major of economics or business. However, the emphasis of math in physics would look good.</p>
<p>I would say you do physics. If you’re not going to need Spanish for your future major (ie linguistics or Spanish Language/Spanish Lit), then you should take another science. Physics is probably more appreciated for its difficulty and relation to math if you’re going to be majoring in econ or business.</p>
<p>If it’s just 30 random hours of community service that you’re not particularly interested in, you may as well do take the community college course.</p>
<p>If it’s 30 focused hours of service doing something that you really care about enough to treat the community service with the same level of responsibility, creativity, and leadership that you would your schoolwork or a job, then do the community service hours.</p>
<p>Colleges don’t care whether you have 200 community service hours or 230 hours. What the colleges care about is what you accomplished while doing your community service, and what doing that service taught you about yourself and the world. If you just mindlessly did what you were told, that’s not likely to impress colleges.</p>
<p>Hmm…another thing came up</p>
<p>Computer Science VS Physics</p>
<p>as a College Course held on a College Campus</p>
<p>One thing about the college class… it proves you have the ability to succeed at the college level.</p>
<p>bump???>…</p>
<p>Take awesome classes because 30 hours on top of the 200+ isn’t significant, unless that’s 30 hours is the fundraiser you’ve started to send money to Africa or something. Okay, terrible example, but you get the point.</p>
<p>Skip CS … take physics. Physics appears more intellectual.</p>
<p>ok…how about CIS vs Business</p>
<p>This may seem obvious but I am really interested in CIS.</p>
<p>I have an MBA from a top school … you can learn business anywhere … take CIS</p>
<p>is it a waste of time to take CC courses if you are in IB? also my CC doesn’t offer regular courses like physics to HS students, only strange ones like trades and “small business bookkeeping”</p>
<p>Is College Algebra worth taking at a Community College for a Business/Econ major?</p>
<p>There are no IB courses offered at my school, only APs</p>
<p>My CA CC offers all courses to HS students … and cheap! This summer my D is taking 5 units for $42 … the books cost more. I doubt she will get college credit for it though …</p>
<p>You can take AP’s on line via UCIrvine. Look up UCCP ( University of California College Prep). The site and course are all sponsored by the UC System to help kids get what they want/need.</p>
