Hi! So I’m a Junior and I’m currently in 4 APs and I’m pretty stressed. I’ve been considering taking the winter season off from track and coming back in the spring. I have a 4.0 and considering I am looking at some pretty top level colleges I really want to maintain it. Would it look bad on college apps to take the winter off? I’m definitely not going to be recruited or anything. The meets sometimes go to 11 PM on school nights and I really don’t see how I’m going to handle that and maintain my GPA.
No, it wouldn’t look bad. GPA is more important. Keep up your running on your time.
