<p>Questions abound… My son is thinking of attending a large public school in the fall. He will probably place out of calc I and II, comp sci, physics I and II and possibly chem I due to AP placements. Should he go on and take the next level of classes as a freshman (Calc III, Dif Eq, etc.) or stay with the standard freshman classes to make sure his gpa is awesome. Also, since he is at such a big school, he will not make any of the official sports teams. Do intramurals count when it comes to sports participation? He plans on trying out for band and joining AFROTC - but there will be few opportunities for leadership in these orgs as a freshman. Any thoughts on how to ensure ‘whole person’ score is adequate?</p>
