[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS took[b] AP NSL, APUSH, AP Bio, AP Chem, AP Physics, AP Calc AB, AP Stats, AP Env Sci, AP Macro, AP Micro, AP Spanish, AP World. [/b]4 years of foreign language. I would call that most rigorous at our HS.

DD took AP NSL, APUSH, AP Psych, AP Lit, AP Lang, AP World plus DE Abnormal Psych.  I would call that rigorous.

Very few students are going to get into the Ivys, Stanford etc. Merely “Rigorous” is going to be enough to get into many fine universities.  You have to have balance.

How could you consider your DS to be "most rigorous"? It looks like he chose to not take AP Lit and AP Lang and instead (I presume) take Honors English 11 and Honors English 12. That is a clear cut case of not the most rigorous, right?[/quote]

Engineering student.  They look for different things.[/quote]

My DC is an engineering student and also took non math and science APs: AP Lit, AP Comp, AP World, APUSH, AP US Gov., AP Econ macro and micro, and electives in the arts, plus two languages.

A high school education should be well-rounded and complete. Many would argue that a college education should be too -- even for engineers.[/quote]

THIS^. Education is to evolve not just employ. College isn't a trade school.[/quote]
