[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish we had pushed harder on grades from day 1. Not in a crazy “you can’t have a life” kind of way. But, I was judging grades as they were regarded in my day. And I also thought people still cared about an upward trend. Nothing matters but gpa anymore. [/quote] Opposite here. Don’t push b/c you can push and still not end up where you wanted. Whats the point?[/quote] THis 1000%. Make the choices you make because it's what your kid wants to do. DOn't make them take 6+ APs junior year if they don't want to. Because you can take APUSH, APEng, and 3-4 AP STEMS and still not get into your top choices because they are highly rejective. So let your kid have a balanced approach of APs they enjoy and match their possible major (it's okay to have only STEM AP if your kid wants to be an engineer/CS). Skip APUSH and APEng and enjoy junior year a bit more and get more than 2 hours of sleep [/quote]
