[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the micro, no. Skipping APUSH isn't going to torpedo your kid's admissions chances. In the macro, you'll want to show academic rigor. But taking 12 APs vs. 11 APs isn't going to move the needle much for college AOs. FWIW, APUSH is my kid's favorite class this year, even though he won't study poly sci or history in college. I've been very impressed with the depth of what he's learned about the constitution, political theory, etc. It's a ton of work, but I think it's been one of the more college-level courses he's taken (out of 12 total APs).[/quote] This. If aiming for top schools they want to see your kid has taken the most rigorous courses offered by the high school. So macro is correct. If you aren’t aiming for top schools then less important [/quote]
