[quote=Anonymous]Agree to max out on math courses offered at your HS. For U of I you need physics - I'd take the highest one possible. As to whether or not to follow path of his friends/cohort, i.e., concentrate more on STEM courses at the expense of taking APUSH, foreign language etc. - I'd probably let my kid decide. I understand why he'd want to follow the same path as his friends/cohorts. My rising junior picked next year's schedule based on a mixture of what friends are doing and what he's interested in. For example, he will not do early PE just for the sake of cramming in another AP that he doesn't care about, like Psychology or US Gov. He would rather sleep! But he is taking 2 math courses so that he will max out on math offered at his HS by senior year. Maybe ask his counselor what he/she thinks as well based on past years' outcomes.[/quote]
