[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My junior’s counselor stressed her out this week by saying the classes she was planning on taking next year weren’t rigorous enough so now she’s trying to find a way to cram more APs in. So mad — we don’t play the AP collecting here and her the counselor had no issues with the rigor of her first three years. [/quote] That is annoying. It would seem that by senior year, the kids have largely made their beds. I would seriously advise your daughter against making senior year extra tough. It won’t be easy to stay focused in the spring. [/quote] Part of the application for college is they want to see the classes you are scheduled for in Senior year. while you don't want to have a super crazy schedule, it is still important to take some challenging courses in your Senior year. For any kid, take the courses you can handle. My DC took AP's since Freshman year, but mostly the History/English route. They are not a science math/kid though did take AP Stat this year instead of AP Calc. They got in to 4 schools including their ED school so it all works out in the end (the other three were early action which is why they heard about all at the same time)[/quote]
