[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is interested in becoming an engineer and I don’t know much about what are the best courses to take to prepare for college and be a strong applicant.

She’s currently a 10th grader and is in honors pre-calc, AP Physics and AP Computer Science. She’s got an A in pre-calc and Bs in the two AP classes. I assume she will take AP Calculus AB next year, but what should she look at for science and electives?

I find the counseling at the school to be pretty lacking, so looking to crowdsource better guidance.[/quote]

If your kid is getting B's in the AP classes, they are most likely too hard for her. A B today is equivalent to a C when we were in school. She's not picking up the material and/or the class is too fast for her. It's better to have a strong foundation in a subject.[/quote]

This is OP, and I’ve been wondering about this. To be fair, she had an A in AP Physics first quarter, but it looks like she’ll get a B this quarter. But does this really mean the classes are too hard? Are all kids getting A’s in AP classes?[/quote]
