[quote=Anonymous]I am pragmatic and strategic. I would stick with calc AB and get an A/A-.  Particularly if not leaning toward stem. Better grades give u more options later, particularly for state flagships that care more about gpa. If kid decides next year that they want stem, add another course the following year or pursue the topic outside school. We were strategic about which advanced classes our kid would take and focused rigor in their strengths and areas of interest both in school and in ECs. I think the craze to push kids to take all advanced AP is not good. Better to engage, Get good grades and have time to excel at stuff outside school. That is what we did and kid is at a t10 now. Our school counselor said this particular school wanted kids with calcBC, and my kid got in without it. I think its better yo create a plan that works for your kid vs following the sheep in a particular track. Junior year is tough and stressful - kids know that grades matter - set your kid up for success.[/quote]
