Hi everyone--
I generally understand the USNA admissions process, but am confused in only one aspect. I was wondering if senior courses are taken into consideration, even though applications are due before the start of senior year. I realize that ones grades cannot significantly drop, but I am wondering if ones courses for senior year matter on his or her application.
I am currently finishing my sophomore year of high school, and am taking a fairly challenging course load for next year including: AP European History (and yes, I know it is typically offered sophomore year at most schools, but mine offers AP US 10th and AP Euro 11th), AP Environmental Science, AP US Government and Politics, AP English Language, Honors Physics, Honors Pre-Calculus, and Honors Chinese IV. But, my senior schedule will be much more impressive, as I will be taking AP Physics C, AP Calculus AB, AP Statistics, AP Chinese, AP Macroeconomics, AP Microeconomics, and AP English Literature. Essentially, I am wondering if these classes will have an impact on my application's appearance even though I will have not taken them at the time of applying.
I hope y'all will understand what I am trying to ask, as it is very confusing, though I believe I have worded it about the best I can. Thank you all in advance, I really appreciate your responses.
