[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges want to admit students who challenge themselves.  If they don't take a core class at AP level because they enjoy other classes better, that sends a signal.

Not if the rest of their schedule is tough and they have 1 History AP in the mix.[/quote]

Conventional wisdom at our school is that a kids aiming for top school should take APUSH, AP-Gov, AP Calc (at least AB), [b]at least one AP Science[/b], AP Lang, AP Lit and AP FL-Lang if they started FL early enough to get that far. After that, they specialize--STEM kids take more science; Soc Studies kids take AP-World, etc. [/quote]

Is it okay if the AP Science is APES or does it have to be a lab science? This is for a kid that wants Business or Economics in college. Taking this science sequence at private Catholic HS: honors bio; honors chem; honors physics. For senior year wants APES, but will do Honors Bio if lab science is needed for rigor. Any advice?[/quote]
