[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And not do what DS' friend is doing:

AP Chem, Physics C (both), Calc BC, Lang, APUSH, HUG, African American studies, PreCalc, Physics 2 (don't ask), Stats and Gov.[/quote]

It's probably not the kid's fault. There are plenty of high schools in which kids cannot take the courses they want. My daughter wanted AP Chem to follow Honors Chem, but she was told to pick something else because there weren't enough seats and she didn't have priority because she wasn't a junior or senior. She chose AP Physics C instead, only to find out a week before the start of school that even though the description says it prepares for both Mech and E&M, it will only actually cover Mech. Other kids have had their language classes cancelled at the last minute because their schools couldn't find a language teacher.

So I would think any admissions officer worth their salt will understand that sometimes kids are not masters of their own schedules. Of course it helps if the college applicant adds a little note somewhere if there's really a discrepancy such as Physics 2 after AP Physics C. Or perhaps a kid developed a serious health issue or something like that, and needs to downgrade for a little bit.
