[quote=Anonymous]Do not rush math. Both my kids were skipped a year ahead in math in 9th grade. In hindsight, this was a bad move. Schools were not impressed by AP calc classes a year or two early with Bs. Better to be “on time” with As. Do not take AP world history. Not worth the ding to their GPA unless they LOVE history. The trick is to max out APs without taking the ones that might hurt your GPA. “Most rigorous” but not really. Don’t have any life changes or experiences that interfere with getting As. Selective colleges aren’t forgiving about mistakes after 8th grade. Even if the kids’ father commits suicide in 10th grade. True story. They want grit and tears PLUS the 4.8 GPA. (Why are kids so stressed and anxious? Such a mystery)[/quote]
