Senior Year Schedule Advice (tripling up on history at the expense of spanish and science?)

[skieurope]

I do not know much about AP Psych, but in college Intro Psych (the likely AP Psych equivalent) can be taught as a Social Science (Social Studies) or as a Natural Science (Science class). What is AP Psych’s approach? It could change whether it is perceived as a science or social studies class.

I doubt the perception would change. I have yet to see a case where the psychology course in a HS is housed anywhere but the Social Studies department. Regardless, when a college is looking at biological/natural sciences, they are usually (but not exclusively) looking at a lab course e.g. bio/chem/physics). Yes, I know psych can have labs, as well.

Ski- Thank you, that was actually very helpful. I had always assumed it was the actual number of years that mattered. Could you let me know the schools you reached out to for clarification when you were going through the process? And also, how did you go about doing that (email or asking in person if/when you visited)?

Without getting into specifics, they were mostly universities in the Northeast - Ivy League schools and their peers. I asked during college fairs or visits to the universities. There is also an entire thread on this topic:

Also, how do I quote what someone has previously posted?
