[quote=Anonymous]Just a window into later- high school.  My dd took health in the summer to open space in her schedule.  She is now going into senior year and having trouble filling out her schedule.  She has 5 AP courses she really wants to take and needs 2 more courses.  There are plenty of other APs she *could* take, but wow.  7 APs in a year would be hell.  The non-AP options at this point aren't topics she's interested in, or would put her in classes with freshmen (e.g., an additional PE class) or are too basic for a senior. 
 She might do an extra art class or something.  She also eliminated a few because they are non-Honors courses, which apparently will hurt her GPA (I don't think it matters, but she does) and puts her in class with non-serious students (which may be the bigger issue).

I say this because if you're trying to get ahead in HS to open things up later on (which is what she did) then make sure you've thought about how things will unfold later on.  I bet my DD wishes she still had an 'easy' health requirement to take care of...
