I’m a sophomore in HS and I’ve been taking Broadcasting as an elective since second semester of freshman year. I plan to take it next year and senior year as well. I enjoy the class a lot, and in addition the district has taken an interest in the program recently so it has become a source of substantial extracurricular opportunities within the township. (Things like working with the police department on public videos) My question is: is it fine from a college admissions perspective to take the class four times? I know I will get credit for each time I take the course, and while it’s simply called “broadcasting” at the moment, by the time I’m a senior its possible we’ll have grown enough to run an advanced Broadcasting class, so it’s a little more obvious on paper that there is some sort of progression from year to year. I just don’t want to inadvertently weaken my transcript.
It’ll be fine, don’t worry. Just remember to put on your resume if you do any of the things with broadcasting in your town so they know that you’re actually using this class to make an impact. Cool class! Keep it up, especially if it’s something you have a passion for.
