[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids took both, if you can't... not sure you're qualified for a top school. Neither was particularly hard. [/quote]

NP here. It's not always that a student "can't" do the work.

It's that if a senior is taking, for example, AP MV Calc + another post-AP math + AP Physics C /AP Chem block class + AP in their FL + a sport + an EC or 2, + volunteer work, how much does AP Lit really matter if the kid is not interested?[/quote]

Math, Science, English, History, and Language are called core subjects for a reason. You don't specialize until college and are expected to be well rounded in the all of the core subjects in high school.[/quote]

That depends. Mine took

AP World
APUSH
AP Comp Gov
AP US Gov
AP HUG
AP European
AP Lang
AP Lit
AP French
AP Latin
AP Micro
AP Macro

But only three years of lab science (2HN, standard physics) and took standard math instead of honors in A2, Pre-Calc, and non-honors physics.

Act 36 verbal and 33 STEM

Went big in areas of strength and interest and ramped down in STEM starting junior year.  Humanities major at at T40 college.
