[quote=Anonymous]It could depend on the program your kid is applying to. Engineering? It matters greatly. Other majors? It depends. My college freshman took a load of APs in her area of interest and got good scores that gave her college credit at any university. Her APs aligned with what she wanted to major in as a college student. Direct line there. Her extracurriculars had no relation to her major, but she stuck with those ECs for all four years of HS. There is an arc here, a story your kid needs to tell on those applications. What is his story going to be? Who is he? What makes him tick? It doesn't have to be ten things, it needs to be one thing.[/quote]
