Does taking two off-blocks senior year look bad for top colleges (i.e. HYPSM+)

I think if you meet your HS requirements and the college requirements - then your schedule is fine. My daughter had a similar schedule - but she checked the HS and college boxes and it didn’t hurt. She also had nutrition - a regular class, and loved it.

You still have rigor - and that’s what matters.

Just know the schools you are looking at are near impossible for all - so if you get turned down, don’t assume it was because of this and second guess yourself.
