[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC’s science progression 9-12th at a private that requires the honors class before the AP version: honors Bio, honors Chem, honors Physics, APES. Applying as a econ/business major next cycle. College counselor said taking APES instead of AP bio, chem or physics may rule out top 25 colleges. DC is really interested in environmental science and has disregarded the advice.[/quote]

This is very interesting. Our DC's college counselor said that taking APES over AP Physics C does not matter for non-engineering/STEM majors (and DC's college counselor is a former admissions counselor at two top ten schools). I was, and still am, pushing for AP Physics C but I think I will let it go. Part of the concern is that our school's AP Physics teacher is known for being terrible. It is a hard class with a terrible teacher. DC is taking a slate of other super rigorous classes across the board (e.g., multivariable/linear algebra, etc.) and they think APES may be easier to handle than AP Physics in the fall of their senior year along with college apps, etc.[/quote]

Are you at a local all boys school?[/quote]
