To shoot for top schools, I suggest the following:

1. Try to do well on AP CS, and AP Calc BC.

2. Take MV Calc next year and continue to push her math. Don’t get distracted by AP Stat.

3. Explore EC’s during school and for summer that are CS related and help differentiate her. Preferably, try to build on what she is learning in AP CS, instead of learning a new language for example. Showing some depth is preferable.

4. They won’t care about her having a lot of different EC’s so she can narrow her focus a lot. They are looking for depth in EC’s that fit with her interests and make a cohesive story.
