[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid at TJ looking at a STEM based major at a SLAC.  Consistent advice from the school (which is good at knowing this stuff) is:  Math 2, most closely aligned science subject (so physics in your case), and strongest humanities subject.

English Lit and Latin are both cited as more impressive than US History.  But only if the score is high. A crappy score does you no good.

Unless your kid is applying to a school that requires all scores to be submitted, I’d have them do Math 2, Physics and Latin. If the Latin is meh, retake next year with some Latin 2, plus another humanities and submit the best score.  Submit the highest humanities out of the bunch.

Also, if your kid is in AB Calc, don’t let them go into Math 2 cold. It will cover Math they haven’t seen for a while and they might need a quick refresh.

And beware than most first year physics curriculums don’t teach all the topics the college board tests. Even at TJ.  I literally have a kid in the backseat studying for the physics SAT now on the way home from spring break.

Good luck![/quote]
