Will elite colleges look for AP/CC courses taken before 9th grade?

If the school (or the state) requires courses to be taken for high school graduation, then your daughter will either have to take them or take others to fulfill the requirements of 4 history classes, 4 English, etc. Most states will only count math or a foreign language taken in 8th grade as part of the requirements for high school graduation, no other courses (such as a community college course or a homeschool course the parent certifies as HS level). If daughter took the equivalent of APUSH and doesn’t want to take it again, she’ll have to take some other history course in order to get a diploma.
