[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Planning ahead for HS next year. I want my son to enjoy his time in HS get a good education. continue with sports have a part time job and finish up a possible eagle scout early in HS. [b]How important is it for him to load up on AP and Honors courses for college acceptance. [/b]If he takes fewer hard classes and plays sports, works at a part time job and ends of an eagle scout is that going to have more weight than possibly turning into a study zombie? How should I divide the different activities?[/quote] It's really going to depend on which colleges he'll be applying to. But very generally, colleges want to see a student taking a rigorous course load from what their school offers. That doesn't mean 9th graders have to start taking AP classes right away. But for junior year, it's pretty typical for kids to have several APs. Honors courses are usually not that challenging, so they should be your default across the board.[/quote]
