[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - not a STEM major. If there was a chance of that, yes of course she should have physics. I have an older child who took AP physics so I’m not unfamiliar with the subject or its relevance. DD just really doesn’t want to take it.

Possible majors are business or something media related, think some combo of marketing, communications, etc depending on the school. She’s probably targeting good schools (Indiana, WI) that she should have the grades and test scores for, but not the most competitive schools.

Why OOS for this? [/quote]

Because we can afford it and in state VA schools may not be an ideal fit. She likely won’t get into UVA, WM may not appeal, Tech is a possibility but also may not appeal, and she might consider JMU but I think Wisconsin, Syracuse, Indiana have more name recognition than JMU in the job market. This is all early days so she’s got time to do visits and change her mind but just asked the question with the current set of parameters.[/quote]

OP, I think you’re fine! What I would do is ask your school’s college counselor what science classes admitted students generally take? They will have the intel relevant to your high school. Wisconsin is getting a little more competitive so definitely investigate that one. Indiana will be fine. Syracuse should be ok too! [/quote]
