Gov Team, College Application Info:
You list regular government (1 semester/fall)
and regular economics (1 semester/spring) on your registered senior courses list. Nor is it really useful or appropriate to
list is under extracurricular activities. Where you highlight that this class is different is in your college essays.
Gov Team is one of the rare classes that ask you to do more work, college level work, for the passion of learning, without any
of the external awards of GPA boosts or college credit (though hopefully you will be taking the AP government exam). This
is the kind of maturity and scholarship colleges like to see in college essays and applicants.
