But, sure here it goes:
Junior:
Magnet Physics (covered AP Physics 1 and half of AP Physics 2)
AP Calc BC
Magnet Integrative STEM
Magnet Biochemistry
Magnet Organic Chemistry
Senior:
AP Physics C & ME (one year - each segment covered in one semester)
AP Biology
Magnet Multivariable/Differential Equations
Magnet Microbiology
Magnet Analytical Chemistry
Magnet Marine Biology
Magnet Astronomy
NOTE: each year all 5 core classes were covered.
Jesus Christ. What ever happened to chasing chicks and being a teenager?
Some of this doesn’t fit as magnet physics is a 9th grade class but this is clearly a Blair SMCS kid as no other schools offer marine biology and being a Blair magnet kid means all homework all the time in high school.
Chicks aren’t into this profile in HS.

9th: Honors bio
10th: Chem
11th: AP Psychology
12th: AP physics or AP Comp Sci, other?
Doesn't enjoy the sciences, took psychology instead of Ap physics in 11th to see if interested him as related to his pursuit of a marketing/advertising major and career.
If the guidance counselor does not think it would not negatively impact admission chances to colleges on your child’s list I would say AP Comp Sci with AP Stats and some sort of Calc. That would lean into the math/research/technical side of marketing.
