[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is fairly high stat kid- took two Aps as sophomore(plus 3 honors classes);5 aps as a junior (plus two honor classes); and is now picking schedule for Senior year.  Currently is planning to take AP Chem, AP Physics C, AP Gov, DE multi variable calculus and linear algebra, H English, and will be a TA in Calculus.  DC would like to take the last class as a free period as there aren’t many other classes  that DC is interested in and DC would like a little down time senior year.  DC also is involved in a year round sport that takes up 20 hours a week and works a part time job 12-16 hours a week.  DC would like to major in engineering and is applying to some top 20 schools, but also top 50 schools.

I am concerned that it will hurt DC to take a free period with college applications.  Can anyone tell me their experience with a child taking a free period senior year and if it hurt their acceptances in college.  Thank you![/quote]

If he doesn’t, reassure him that he’ll have lots of downtime being a TA. That’s almost like a free period itself. [/quote]
