What elective should I take for senior year?

<p>So normally I’m really good at making sure I have my schedule figured out for the next year of school, but for this coming school year (my senior year), I have a free semester. Here are the classes I currently am enrolled in:</p>

<p>AP Stats
AP Physics 2
AP Biology
AP English Literature
AP Spanish Language
Astronomy/Elective
Madrigal Singers
Marching/Concert Band</p>

<p>Where I put in “elective” is where I have a free space. Originally, I had a course called “Senior Project” where I was expecting to work as a student conductor for my choir teacher. That didn’t work out (for various reasons) so I’m trying to find a class to fill. Here are some options I’m thinking of:</p>

<p>Psychology (not AP, school doesn’t offer it)
Intro to CAD (it’s pretty much the only computer class my school offers. I’d take Programming or Web Design if I could)
Study Hall (only if absolutely necessary)
Half of an AP class (like AP Physics 1 for the first semester. I have a feeling this wouldn’t look very good to colleges though)</p>

<p>I intend to major in some kind of physics in college (possibly music therapy), so based on that, what would be my best option for class? Are there any others that would be better?</p>

<p>Also, all of my graduation requirements have been met, so I don’t need to worry about that.</p>

<p>I’d just take the study :slight_smile: if absolutely needed just take psych I guess</p>

<p>Please take a study hall. Trust me, you’ll need it. </p>

<p>Will colleges look down on the fact that I took a study hall? I’m looking to apply to Carnegie Mellon as one of my schools, which I know is pretty selective.</p>
