Is 3 years of science in high school enough?

It’s interesting how much emphasis continues to be placed on the STEM subjects even for kids who are not remotely interested in pursuing those areas.

<p>Well, not really much more than other subjects for high school college-prep purposes (e.g. it is desirable to have 4 years of English, 3-4 years of history and social studies, and level 4 of foreign language). The most selective colleges prefer students to get a well rounded base in high school (although they may have extra-advanced course work in their favorite subjects).</p>
