[quote=Anonymous]I have the kid who took Hum Geo. Don’t have a pre-med kid take it. It’s a cool class and DD loved it— but she’s attending college for international relations. World plus Human Geo is awful for a STEM kid. And it’s a particularly impressive AP to have. My advice is to start at no more than 2, then crank it up junior and senior years. Nothing worse than being in over your head. Some schools make it hard to drop down. Take AP World. It’s core and the top 1/4 of his class (depending on school) will take it. Then maybe Econ? Math (quantitative) and humanities. Hard but not too hard. Counts as 2 APs. He’d probably enjoy it more than Human Geo. Then for goodness sake— let him take something interesting. Standard psych. Anatomy and physiology. One of the non-honors math classes like discrete. Or fine arts, another language. Something he likes. Leave AP Stats until junior or senior year. It’s not an easy course.
