Are seniors expected to take six or seven courses their senior year if they’re applying a University of California?
S3 has already completed four APs and would likely take at least four more senior year. But would it be bad advice to tell him he could take just 5 courses senior year and just kind of enjoy the ride senior year? He’ll be done with AP Spanish, taken Mandarin to 3rd year, completed AP Bio and AP Physics, AP Calc AB. A Senior year with five courses would look like" AP Calc BC, AP Stats, English CE, Econ (AP?), AP Physics C. Would UC’s see that as slackin’? He’ll be a likely data science or comp sci major.
