[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NCS should start earlier. They don’t meet with kids until January/February of junior year. By then it’s too late to course correct if you’ve chosen the wrong classes, lack leadership etc. college guidance is fine just need to meet with the girls starting in 9th in my opinion. [/quote]

Yes! There is little to no guidance on course selection in regards to college counseling at NCS. [/quote]

Take the most advanced option at every juncture.

Actually, I would not recommend this at all.  Mom of a recent NCS grad and current junior. [/quote]

Another mom of a junior. Taking all the hardest classes is a recipe for disaster or at least a lot of stress and anxiety. [/quote]

Also, colleges do not have the bandwidth to notice or care if you took honors algebra 2 or accelerated algebra 2. 
There are many girls with top college options who maxed at Calculus AB and girls who struggled through Calculus BC or multivariable who got much worse results. 
The answer is always to do well and preserve your mental health. [/quote]
