Do you think this is a big deal?

<p>One of my school’s graduation requirements is taking Economics. However, last fall I enrolled in AP Government, a class I thought was one year long, so I put that in my application. What I did not know was that the class turns into Honors Economics for the second semester. </p>

<p>Do you think Duke will care about this (since it’s like I’m dropping an AP class for an easier one)? Should I explain it in a letter? It’s not as if I chose to take an easier course, it’s just something that the school does in order for us to fulfill graduation requirements.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Every school I know of does that (including mine), it’s not an issue. I think AP Government is ONLY a one semester course everywhere.</p>

<p>Please clarify: Have you already been admitted? Even if that’s the case, I would still feel inclined to contact admissions and let them know of the misunderstanding and correct the official record. Don’t worry–they won’t rescind admission or anything :slight_smile: If you have an application pending (which I doubt unless this is a special situation), then definitely I would make the correction. The ramifications would be worse if they thought you falsified the application (which we realize you didn’t, of course).</p>

<p>Honestly, get your counselor to write a letter of clarification, that way nothing will seem suspicious</p>

<p>AP US Government is a full year. AP Comparative Government isn’t offered, and is recommended you take AP Micro/Macro Economics at my school.</p>
