[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a magnet kid and the plan is 2 in 10th (NSL and Comp. Sci.) , 2 in 11th (Eng. Lang and World History) 2 in 12th (Eng. Literature and French).  6 might not sound like a lot for an advanced kid but he is in a demanding program and I don't want to add to the stress.  [/quote]

Same here. Technical magnet.
Plan is 1 in 9th (NSL)
2 in 10th (Geography, Econ)
2 in 11 (Chemistry, Calc)
2 in 12th (Physics, English)

The problem is that for technical kid there is nothing else that university would count. [b]No need to overload with Psychology, History, Biology, etc. No need in so many Humanities for Engineering major.[/b]
Child would take different Foreign in college (not available in school), CS and Statistics are not counted by universities.
So really in our case 7 is max.[/quote]

It could get him out of general education requirements at some schools, though this likely depends on the policies of the specific universities likely to be on his list.[/quote]
General education are 2 English (only one can be done in school), Government + Geography (or History but not both) +2 Econ + Foreign. There are no more general things, none.
All other courses just waste of time and energy for nothing...
