[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, colleges will be seeing the classes that your son is taking – not his day-to-day schedule. They’re not going to know that, say, from 2 to 3 he’s not doing anything.  Geez, relax and cut your kid a break.  Stop being a helicopter and college obsessed parent.   [/quote]

Colleges will see that he is taking 6 classes instead of the usual 7 (well, really 5 classes with the TA period). They will know that he has a shortened schedule. Sure, they might not care. But the OP asked for opinions, and I, personally, feel that this schedule will be viewed as being a little bit off.[/quote]

No, they won’t.  They’re not counting classes.  They’re looking at what the actual classes are.  Now, if a transcript showed only one or two classes on a transcript for senior year they’d do a double take, sure.  But this isn’t that. [/quote]

I'm sorry, what? You do not think that the AOs at top schools will notice a missing class? Well, then we will have to agree to disagree.[/quote]

They’re not gonna notice nor care.  Relax.  [/quote]

They 110% will not notice or care that a kid with that schedule gets to have a 42 minute break in their day. If they have an opinion, it will be neutral at worst.

If you think this is a problem for selective schools, you are very clueless about college admissions.[/quote]
