+1. Your daughter hasn’t done enough work in HS classes for you to be quoting a GPA or strength of EC’s.  You said not considering Ivies then mention Columbia???  A lot can change throughout HS.  Give it a year and a half then revisit this discussion.[/quote]

Columbia seems like an easier ivy to get into, she's most likely going to apply to HYP and maybe some others but she likes the idea of the Columbia/Julliard program.

She needs to start looking at colleges now, while she's planning out her high school ECs and courses, she can't just wait until junior year. That's stupid.[/quote]

You don't need to look at colleges to plan out your ECs and courses. [/quote]

Well, for example, UVA (we're in VA) wants kids to go up to AP Lang, but other schools arent. If she's not shooting for UVA, she doesn't necessarily need to do AP Lang in favor of another AP science that would fit her career path better.[/quote]

:roll: Get a spreadsheet, map out four years of rigorous course schedule across core classes and interest and review each year.  Unless your child is at a really small school she’s going to have fierce competition in HS.  If she’s a normal public school kid in VA she will not be the only one who has taken several HS classes while in MS.

Admission to Julliard is its own ball of wax.  If she’s thinking about being there it’s obvious that her EC’s are going to revolve heavily around some form of arts (music, dance).  So why doesn’t she first try balancing several AP science courses with a rigorous afterschool arts program schedule and then determine if the Columbia/Julliard path makes sense.[/quote]
