[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest thing is math placement. If you don’t get into an advanced track early on, you probably won’t be able to take AP calculus in high school, which is a problem if you want to major in STEM.

It also matters when it comes to extracurriculars like sports, music, or STEM competitions. It’s extremely hard to do well in those activities if you don’t start early well before high school[/quote]

So very narrow minded and wrong.  If you want to put sports in there just be aware that the colleges only care about team ball sports.  Football, hockey and  basketball are their priorities.  That leaves 98% of applicants out.  Then comes baseball and softball way behind.

Colleges don’t care about a kid who swims or runs or fences or plays tennis unless they are Olympic potentials.   You can have your five year old with private coaches, full time camps all summer long, club sports all year long and your kid won’t be close to what is necessary to be noticed.

And the humanities don’t care about your math journey.  [/quote]
