Dropping an easy elective class before semester starts? Help

Hey everyone,

I was thinking about dropping Practical law (basically a really easy semester-long intro to law class that’s usually a sophomore elective) before the semester starts, because I feel like I need to focus on my tougher classes, AP Chemistry and AP Calculus. I do realize that it does sometimes affect your college decision. I have already been accepted to and have committed to NYU.I know most questions related to this topic are asked based on dropping a tough class that someone’s doing badly in. Will my situation affect my acceptance? Thanks!

Most likely not. However, you were admitted with them believing you would be taking it. As long as the rest of your schedule is rigorous enough I don’t think it would be a huge deal. You will have to contact NYU to let them know that you plan on dropping.
