[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She should definitely take AP bio if that's the only core science class available at the AP level. Selective colleges are mindful of weak high schools. For engineering, in this context math is going to be more important. Make sure she gets to Calculus AB at least by senior year, even if it requires enrolling at community college. But generally, engineering is incredibly competitive. At absolute minimum, she needs to take the most rigorous courses available. And that includes the core classes - biology, physics, chemistry, history, English, and especially math. [b]Most engineering students will have taken 10-14 AP courses in high school.[/b] [/quote] That's only expected, if at all, when the school offers those classes. No school, even the very top, expect students to take classes that aren't available to them. That's why applicants are evaluated in the context of their high school.[/quote]
