<p>Stanford expects high school seniors to take five solids a year. I am already taking Physics, Stat, Gov/econ, English and I am trying to get into a calc class next semester to make five. but in case I cant get in, Im trying to sign up for another class, like Psych. But is psych considered a solid? The only class I’m currently taking that isnt a solid is band, and Psychology is more academic than band, but im not sure.</p>
<p>They accepted you knowing that you didn’t have 5 in your senior year, right? Unless that’s a requirement they requested of you, I don’t see why you need to have 5 “solids”</p>
<p>On my application, Calculus was a planned class for next semester, and my fifth solid. But the class is full, so I’m going to sit in on it to pick up a spot if someone drops. In case no one drops in the first two weeks or so, I need to already be registered for a solid. It would be really easy to sign up for psych, as it fits my schedule perfectly, and there are plenty of spots open</p>
<p>I believe psych is an elective class, despite its AP status, though I’m not completely sure.</p>
<p>This is one instance where it really wouldn’t hurt to call them and let them know what was going on. This is something beyond your control; you aren’t purposefully trying to have a light schedule. All of my classes were electives this year (as in, some of them are serious classes by AP World History but I was finished filling graduation requirements years ago)… and I explained why that happened in my application.</p>
<p>Haha, all this is a result of me calling them. The admissions rep called and asked if I had any questions and I said “well I just checked, and the class is full, but I will probably sit in on it and get in that way.” and then she said I should email her the full problem so she could run it by the director. So, I guess I really need to get into that calc class now, cuz the director pointed out that I was admitted with the assumption I would enter Stanford knowing Calculus</p>
