The only thing I would say is that it likely depends on how the individual college views it. UVA is explicit that they want to see the highest rigor in all 5 disciplines - so APs in science, math, language, foreign language, and social sciences. Others put it in the context of what major the kid is applying for. [/quote]

Even stem colleges like MIT and Caltech say you need to do rigorous classes in humanities and social sciences, less so in foreign language. They also specifically mention Calculus, Physics, Chemistry and Biology.[/quote]
