<p>would colleges see this in a negative eye for a senior student?thanks</p>
<p>maybe. i mean, tons of kids are gonna be applying that didn’t take a study hall their entire high school career…</p>
<p>Yeah, unfortunately that probably won’t work in your favour, unless you’ve already been admitted and are taking a study period the second half of your senior year, and even still you might have to explain why. Harvard looks for candidates that followed the most rigorous academic program available to them in high school, which probably doesn’t include study periods, although if you needed one because of an obvious ridiculous course load, maybe the admissions committee would be more lenient, although high school course loads tend to be less demanding than those at Harvard, where you need to maintain a full course load each semester in order to graduate. If you can get out of it, I would advise doing so.</p>
