A quick note as we start off the Spring term; please remember that if your schedule for the spring term is different than what you had originally reported to the colleges to which you applied, it is your responsibility to inform the colleges about significant program changes. More specifically...you must inform colleges if you dropped AP or other college level coursework for the spring term.
This should be done by sending a concise email to each college’s office of undergraduate admission explaining why the schedule change was necessary. Or, upload a concise explanation in the college’s applicant portal.
Admissions officers may be flexible this year as they know we are still not back to normal , and that there are many legitimate reasons why a senior’s program might need to change. But they also expect students to follow through with their academic commitments throughout the entire senior year. They expect you to be honest when reporting your course schedule. If your schedule is less demanding than you had reported this fall, this could be problematic when the college where you plan on attending evaluates your final transcript in July.
If you have questions or need advice, please email your assigned college counselor.
