[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way.....1 free period is fine, not 2.[/quote]

+1. Top schools are looking to see if your kid can handle the rigor of college -two free periods says no[/quote]
said nobody ever [/quote]

There is advice against free periods from college counselors and admissions officers.  Take an elective.[/quote]

My child's school requires a free period, for everyone. I don't believe that anyone has given this blanket advice.[/quote]

Then your school would have that in their profile that they send.  That's irrelevant here.  If your school DOESN'T require a free period, having 2 will impact rigor.[/quote]
stop saying this. it's not universally true.[/quote]

At DC's public high school, the free period is not mentioned.  Only classes in which the child is enrolled.  I would still recommend some other electives just to round out the education - art, psych, econ, environmental science, stats, etc. [/quote]

They don’t have to mention it. The school profile will say that students have seven periods a day. Then, the admissions officer will see that Johnny takes six classes a day. He doesn’t need someone to spell out that one of those periods is missing. [/quote]
