[quote=Anonymous]We are new to MCPS and my daughter is a freshman and now has to figure out her courses for next year.  Her counselor is terrible and really doesn't seem to have any input.  I get all of the minimum requirements but I am looking for a more college focused approach.  Nothing crazy, but the norm of what the kids take.  She doesn't have a lot of friends yet and feels uncomfortable asking around

Her current classes:
Alg 2 (she moved down after the hon was past her old school) 
Hon Bio
Hon Span 3
PE 
Hon US History
Art 
Hon English

Her counselor said this for next year:

Pre-Calc
Hon Chem
Hon NSL
AP Seminar
Hon Health 
Comp Science
Elective

I am wondering why Spanish 4 wasn't said and I have no idea what AP Seminar (I guess in place of English?)  is or Comp Science is something competitive worth taking. The earliest the counselor can see me is next Thurs, so I was just looking for feedback.

Like I said, we are looking for college prep type classes but she isn't going to be looking for top 50 college or anything.  She plays 2 sports and is looking to be in a few clubs next year.  Trying to find balance.  I just find this school system much more confusing than our previous one for my older kids.  Thanks in advance [/quote]
