Thanks for the thoughtful replies! Her current plan is a BM degree. She’s considering both conservatories and music schools, so she’s got to stay fairly well-rounded right now.
As of this moment, senior year looks to include 3 AP classes (Calc or Stats, English Lit, & Music Theory), 1 non-AP Physics class, Spanish IV, and several (govt, history, econ) CLEP exams.
The CLEP-exam classes will start over the summer and she should have those tests out of the way throughout the fall semester - leaving the 3 APs as the year-long time-sucks. She’s only planning to take two AP exams (not planning to test for Music Theory), so maybe that will lessen the load a bit if needed in spring.
hmmm… so much for her to think about! Hearing how others have done helps her start to see her own picture more clearly. Thanks!
