As far as Project Lead the Way courses go, our school offers it, but our college freshman engineering major did not take them because it would have conflicted with taking the most rigorous other courses (both in science and math and in english and social studies). Since we were aiming at top schools (not necessarily tech-oriented) we went the standard high level academic track. He took AP Calc, AP Physics BC, AP ComSci, AP stats, AP Bio, + your standard APs in the humanities. I think PLtW is fine, but I’m not sure it’s necessarily the best prep for top schools, IF it conflicts with the more standard track.
