If a student is applying to ivy league he is advised to take 5 subjects. For ex if a person is applying at Princeton for a major in engineering Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics are almost compulsory. I wish to know which other subjects should that student give.

In sociology 7% got A grade in june 2007 session where as 29% got A in Biology. Do university take this into account or they simply look at no of As? And also how much difference can 5As and 3As make in getting admission in top university?
