[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We talked to a college counselor (private) when our kids were in 10th. He basically said - get every key science covered in HS, [b]Physics Biology Chemistry and get the AP's for each of these[/b] He also said get the AP's for foreign language and Calculus (AB or BC depending on your kid) in 11th if possible. Then get AP's in English Lang and Lit, the Humanities subjects including Gov't / Econ / US History, European and / or world History The 11th grade needs to be extremely rigorous so you get the AP / Honors bump and you show the colleges that you're academically ready for them. He also said EC's are key - sports / volunteering in a very specific way related to your potential major / travel and learning outside of school where possible [/quote] The college counselor told you to be sure to take AP Bio, AP Chem, and AP Physics?[/quote]
