Please help me, I'm at a loss for what to do.

<p>Okay, so I’m planning on applying to Stanford, but I have an oppurtunity to change my high school schedule for my spring semester. This is what my schedule looks like right now:</p>

<p>Fall:
AP English Literature
Chemistry II Honors
Calculus and Analytic Geometry III (Taking at a nearby university)</p>

<p>Spring:
AP Statistics
AP Chemistry
AP European History
AP Government and Politics</p>

<p>I could possibly change the spring semester to this:</p>

<p>AP Statistics
AP Chemistry
Mathematical Reasoning (Would take at the same university)</p>

<p>I may or may not still be able to take AP Gov due to scheduling problems.</p>

<p>I’m considering this because I really like math, but I figured out this new schedule would drop my potential final GPA (5.00 versus a 4.93) and I get the feeling that adcoms might think I’m not expanding my horizons enough by taking mostly maths/sciences. What do you guys think I should do?</p>

<p>you already have statistics both terms. Take AP Govt and AP Hist in spring term to show your well-roundedness.</p>

<p>dont freak out about your GPA, just take whatever you want to take, nobody will care either way…</p>

<p>Yeah colleges care about unweighted GPA, not weighted so don’t worry about it. Take a hard, but diversified course load that you can not only handle, but have fun with while enriching your mind.</p>

<p>Something to keep in mind is that you don’t have to be well-rounded, unlike what the above posts suggest. if you really like math and are good at it then taking lots of math is fine.</p>
