[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do colleges care about the Capstone diploma? Would they prefer more AP in math and science classes vs AP Seminar and AP Research, or do they expect both? [/quote]
They do not care about capstone. 
 For Engineering at the big-4 public OOS (UCB, GT, UIUC, Michigan) or ivy-level private with Engineering(MIT, Princeton, Stanford, Penn, Cornell, CMU, Columbia, Harvard, Northwestern, JHU, Duke), they need to take the highest level math, physics and chem courses offered at the high school and get As /5s in every stem class, 770+ on math SAT, 720+ reading, as well as take max rigor in English and History all four years. The stem-magnet competitive-entry public high school as well as the top private in our area have a large % of the top kids who want engineering these days, the past four cycles more females than males in the top group of grads (cum laude/top 20%) are targeting engineering!
These top students all want top places. Engineering has become hugely competitive at these most-desirable programs. 
The above is what the counselors advise. Data on engineering applicants with SAT breakdown is available to parents if asked. [/quote]

Max rigor in history = AP Human Geography in 9th? [/quote]
