Does your senior have a half-day schedule?

At my high school of 1700 we have 100 seniors with internships and I assume half-day schedules. So definitely "not everyone".

There's a place on the College App to list your second semester courses as well, so best not to slack off completely there either. Most seniors take a full schedule, but get lower grades during the second semester because they're burned out. Just as long as they don't fail any second semester class, usually colleges do not rescind admission.

This. I can't believe that counselors are advising kids that this is OK.
