What subjects are colleges particularly fond of?
Obviously they're interested in everything together, but just if you had to be specific.
My problem is that I have four honors classes I am qualified for, but my school only allows three honors classes per year.
The subjects are world history, math, science, and english.
The teachers always say to go for the subjects you're passionate about, but as a freshman I haven't really developed anything I'd deem a "passion." I have nothing against any of those subjects either; they all pose the same pros and cons from where I stand. So, I figured I'd go for the subjects that would look prettier, for lack of a better term, on my college application.
I guess the more proper/easier question would really be: out of those four subjects, which one is not worth pursuing when it comes to college impressions?
Sorry if this came off as pretentious or anything. I'm just very cautious when it comes to future matters like college.
Thanks
No clear idea what I want to major in, although I think out of all those subjects I would definitely want to keep honors science in the picture. That's one of the few "maybe" majors I'm considering.

Math and science are good. English and history are time-sucks and the danger of lowering your GPA far outweighs the value of such a course. Remember that an A in a regular course is better than a B or less in an AP.
The stuff about "passion" is a myth but for some reason it keeps on being regurgitated by people who ought to know better. The same applies to community service and other ECs.
