My kid will do Honors Health in senior year

[b]Why wait till Senior year for an honors class[/b]?  Take it in the summer and then take a real class in the school year.[/quote]

ECs- volunteering, competitions, community outreach, academic prep, online certification during summer.

Taking a ton of AP classes all 4 years and the counselor suggested that he needs to show he can balance curriculum and workload by taking some easy on-level classes.  For all 4 years, one easy course to meet graduation requirement is now on the schedule.   Counselor strongly suggested that these should be taken during the school year so that he can show that he is socializing with students of all abilities in these kinds of classes. Since almost all of his classes are Honors, AP/IB, post-AP etc it made sense.  I was told that PE had more value than Health because it showed that the student can do a level of self-care and is physically active especially during harder years like the Junior year.

Anyways, fluff classes are discarded by the College in recalculating the GPA, so there are pros and cons. [/quote]
