AP or DE?

@thumper1 Thanks. Finances aren’t really an issue - we’d rather pay a little more for a class if she had a better chance of getting college credit for it, with all other things being equal.

Next year she’ll probably be taking AP/DE Chem, AP/DE Calc, Honors Physics, and AP CS Principles. Then of the courses she HAS to take to meet her graduation requirements (she’ll already have five maths and four sciences before next year - for a total of six sciences and maths when she graduates*), she’ll probably be taking the DE English (instead of AP Lit) and regular US Gov’t. She’ll have two more class periods so she can choose a couple of other things that interest her.

So she’ll probably end up taking 7 AP/DE classes total, with the rest being honors, except for her last two years of History. Hopefully that, combined with her 4.0 UW GPA, will get her into a pretty good college. She hasn’t taken the SAT yet, but she thinks she can get above 1200 if her PSAT is any indication.

*Yes, she does have three FL, PE, Art and Personal Finance courses that are required for graduation.

Thanks for your help!
