[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]No, my kid had all core APs but took art and shop (which he loved) and was ivy admitted[/b]. If it is inline with a passion I think it’s actually a benefit as opposed to the students who jam in every AP class in a GPA race. I think it helped him a lot as a differentiator. Passions matter, and what makes a kid interesting and memorable matter. What they bring to campus. Study what you love, in HS and in college.[/quote] Was it just those two classes, or did he take a "fun" class for all of his electives?[/quote] He only had room for one elective each semester, but it was always either art or shop. Senior year he took AP Comp Sci because they ended our shop program at our HS or he would have taken the last year of that. The only point I was trying to make is that no, IMHO&E you will not be punished for taking those classes.[/quote]
