[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do study halls look bad in 9th grade?[/quote] No. You just need to have the core classes. Colleges don’t care about electives. A study hall (or reduced schedule) does not show up on the transcript. [/quote] I have a feeling parents answering the question are thinking in terms of different schools. For many (the majority of) schools, it won't matter. For the most competitive schools, it will. Schools aren't looking at your application in isolation; they are comparing you to the other applicants in your high school. If the other applicants are seemingly taking their senior year more seriously, they will have a leg up. For a state school, there are plenty of admissions slots so this won't make much difference. For a tippy top school, other applicants from your school will probably have very competitive profiles, and taking a course off senior year certainly would matter. [/quote]
