[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges just see the courses you take, not your daily schedule. Our competitive private school advises kids to take 5 core academic classes each year: english, math, history, science, foreign language. Having free periods first semester senior year is good if doesnt interfere with the core academic classes. Applications and essay writing and pressure on senior q1 grades is intense!  (My kid did extra electives in 9th/10th but dropped after to keep up grades in core subjects).  Kid got ed1 acceptance so pressure is now off. Don't underestimate the amount of time and work required to submit strong application essays...[/quote]

Op here. Thanks for this. Sounds reasonable to me.

I think I will have him ask his counselor about this since I'm getting a lot of different answers here. I've seen the school profile and there's nothing indicating how many classes are required, but maybe the counselor lists it separately somewhere.

In general, every year he has 8 slots to fill (which includes PE). So even if he gets 2 free periods next year because he's doing p.e. early, 7 slots will be filled, which will appear as 1 free period. I guess that's correct from what most people here are saying. In any event, we will confirm with the counselor.[/quote]
