[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dc is a sophomore and currently taking one AP class. In thinking about college admissions, what AP courses should dc take junior year? Stick to math, science and English APs? Are APs in other subjects like foreign language, psychology, etc. weighted the same in admissions as the core subjects? Thanks.[/quote] Agree with PP. They should also take APs where they have a reasonable expectation of scoring 4 or 5 on the AP exam (based on past performance in the subject). Schools want to see rigor, but if you take 10 APs, and get Bs or B-s for the class, and score 3s on the exams, it won't help you much. Since your DC started with 1 in 10th, I would aim for about 2-3 junior year and 3 senior year. Definitely ask the counselor what is typical for students from your high school, especially those have been admitted to the kind of colleges and the majors that are similar to what your kid thinks they want.
