[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is extremely rigorous. They must be able to get As in these classes, plus 4 or 5 on AP exam. Don’t overdo it. I can’t stress that enough. DS did 11 APs with all As and one B in AP Bio. Wouldn’t let him take Calc BC (save some calc for college). Took AP Span. The B hurt his gpa a lot (relative to the top 10% of class - still an amazing gpa). You need time for extracurricular, friends and family time too and test prep for SAT. [b]YOU NEED TO BE AWARE THAT YOUR DC STILL MAY NOT GET INTO TOP 20. Lots of kids just like this at UMD and other flagships. [/quote] True. OP has said nothing about ECs, volunteerism, anything to make her child appear well-rounded and as having leadership qualities.[/quote]
