[quote=Anonymous]My kids were average students. So, much the advice given isn't relevant. This advice is for average kids who are looking to attend large state schools. I would pick classes that you can get an A in. An A in regular is better than a B in honors. My younger son got tripped up taking more rigor which was unnecessary for the schools he was applying to. I would add based on outcomes by my son's friends that if you have the means hire an advisor early. And have the advisor help with EC activities and narrative from day one. DS's friend had unbelievable outcomes because his parents knew the process (former Headmaster at a private school with a public school kid). His high school career was so scripted. Other kids knew it was all fake, but the colleges didn't. [/quote]
