<p>Personally, and my 3 sons would agree, I would not take AP History just for the heck of it. It tends to be an extremely writing intensive course and you really have to like it!</p>
<p>Concentrate on your math, especially. Do all the SAT practice tests you can and just keep doing well in your other classes. Good luck!</p>
<p>My son was a top hs student and he still took regular english (vs honors) his senior year because he was just done with that subject. He didn’t take AP History, either. Just regular. He concentrated his efforts in math and science. He had an excellent GPA and SAT, with long term ecs. He got a very nice scholarship and Stevens Scholars.</p>
<p>The only thing I might add is a computer programming course-if your school doesn’t offer one, maybe take it at a community college.</p>
