[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My advice would be to never do anything just for the sake of college admissions. And especially not starting to think about this in 7th grade. My kid is CS major at UMD now and went through the SMCS magnet in MCPS. I think taking the most rigorous STEM classes, good SAT/ACT, AP scores are likely he most important things for admissions. [/quote] The advice you get depends on the student. There is an industry of college consultants (and their clients) with whom you will be competing. 7th grade is not too early to think about college. [/quote] I did not say to not think about college. Kids should be doing things because they are interested in them. Encourage their interests not say "oh you need to do this so you can get into UMD CS". [/quote]
