Senior Courses-No SS or history

Even for the most selective schools, it seems that of the 5 major academic areas (English, math, science, foreign language, history/social studies), social studies is the one that few colleges request 4 years. Harvard and Princeton suggest 2+ as an example.

At the end of the day, it will be all looked at in context. Is the overall 4 year plan challenging and generally well-balanced? If so, I would not spend too much time overthinking it.

Additionally, there is nothing wrong with taking an arts class from the college point of view. My senior year courseload included a theater course, nor did I take all of the HS courses the college I am attending “recommends,” and I did OK in the admissions process. A data point of one, but still. :slight_smile:
