@skieurope the article I read on Harvard’s admissions website was entitled “Choosing Courses: How Can You Best Prepare for Harvard?” And while I agree most history courses do lean Eurocentric, as AP Euro and AP World (which I’m currently taking) are the highest level non-US History courses offered, I don’t see an advantage in trying to take a different history course. Besides, it’s a class that does interest me and I would’ve ended up taking anyway.
FWIW: My AP World teacher does a fantastic job of making sure the course doesn’t remain Eurocentric- he always ensures we’re getting a global perspective, which I enjoy.
@collegedad13 your child seems to be in a very similar situation that I’m currently in by attending a public, typically non-competitive high school. Senior Year I do hope to clear my afternoon schedule for some DE classes.
@gibby thank you for the link, it is very insightful
