[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's way too early to think of where she should go to college! She needs to do her best in high school first. Excel at what she has in front of her and revisit the question in 3 years. An outstanding humanities/social science student can be more attractive to elite colleges than another "average excellent" STEM applicant. Schools do want to see 4 years of math and sciences though, but AP calculus is not a requirement anywhere unless you say you want to be a science or engineering major.

FWIW, the math and science classes were a drudge for my DC.  DC topped out with AP bio and AP stats. But, DC was in another league in the preferred subjects, had raves from teachers, and demonstrated serious leadership beyond school. The college counselor was extremely confident that DC would get admitted to any of the reaches on the list in the early round.   [/quote]

Math is really overrated, seriously.  I got C in math in HS and college but now I am working in information security and I have people who majored math  and engineering from Stanford and CMU report to me.  The only math I need to know is binary math.[/quote]
