[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top colleges do not punish kids for taking fun electives.

Once a kid has 5 classes that are the most rigorous their school offers, their electives don't matter.

Now if the student decides they "hate writing" and refuse to take AP Lang and any AP history, then top schools will not be impressed.

[b]It would be fine to skip AP Lang and AP history and make up for it with AP Studio art and AP Music theory[/b].[/quote]

haha NO

Please do not listen to this advice.

Everyone needs AP US and European history.[/quote]

Take studio art or music theory during your lunch period. Eat a couple snacks in the hallway before class.[/quote]

AP Music Theory is a serious class. If you don’t know that, I can’t help. I know my kid took it in a STEM heavy schedule with plenty of ALs and other music interest. When he interviewed at WM, the interviewer walked out and said out of nowhere “I really love seeing a STEM kid taking AP Theory.”  Of course music theory and math are very intertwined.  If you don’t know what you are talking about, don’t say it. Many of the AP AP practices classes are also very high level. [/quote]
