<p>“might be considered fluff classes by colleges”</p>
<p>Yes, they might, and that would matter if this student were interested in reachy liberal arts colleges. She isn’t. She’s interested in large state universities that admit primarily based on numbers, and the family seems to be enthusiastic about those options. Yes, people do change majors, but someone who doesn’t like science and math switching into engineering is not likely. If she has to take calculus someday, taking anatomy or statistics senior year is not going to help.</p>
<p>RTRmom, if you are sure that your daughter is sticking with the big-state-school route, this really isn’t something to worry about. There’s an intellectual-development argument in favor of the student continuing to challenge herself, but not an admissions argument.</p>
