Interesting, so you did not take “all” the most challenging classes available to you, as it appears you shyed away from taking the highest level math classes. It also appears you got into Princeton. That’s encouraging. I was kind of concerned thinking it would be absolutely necessary to take each and every top level class offered, each and every year. History classes (and Biology) are certainly my daughter’s weaknesses. Perhaps I will recommend simply taking regular history next year, though class rank would certainly fall. It’s a tough choice. She’s involved in so many sports and other activities, it might be worth the tradeoff. I suspect she would fall from top 2-3% down to the top 8-10% range simply for taking non AP history classes 10th and 11th grade year… meaning even if she gets an A in regular history those two years, it would drop her down to the 8-10% range simply because of the # of kids that “will” take all honors/AP and many will make all A’s. Tough call.
