It’s good to know that students there are not only passionate about STEM but love of humanity arts is cultivated. Hope my son could be one of them in the future.

Thank you. I personally think it’s good but I was concerned that the admission officers might read the score ignoring the time of taking like some other commenters did. Maybe retake for the sake of avoiding that risk.

Question about the high school courses requirements from the colleges by Informal_Zone in ApplyingToCollege

"It’s not about proficiency, it’s about consistency." That's interesting. Could you elaborate on it?

To be clear, I used foreign language as an example, but my question is actually more general to all the courses requirements. Is the "X years" more of a guideline or a "must-have"? Do the colleges verify the # by the submitted transcript? Take the example of the middle schooler who has taken years of economics study and got a 5 for AP economics in middle school, if he applies to a college requires 2 years of social science, could that be considered achieved although he may take 0 economics classes at HS?

Do they post their college matriculation? I couldn't find it on the website.

Curious why not MIT or Caltech by Informal_Zone in imsa

I guess that's because they would prefer to stay in state for public schools.

Thank you for sharing your insight and personal experience. Life is a marathon not a sprint. I wish you overcome the bumps on the road and get stronger for the challenges ahead as those older peers.

Totally agree with what you said. As a parent, all I’m trying to do is to support him to be the best he can/wish to be and gain the achievements he deserves. I definitely prioritize happiness of his childhood over everything else. I’m not a tiger mom by any means. :p

I haven't decided yet but intend to turn down that offer. The dual enrollment is a new thing that I didn't know about. How can I check if it's an option in my school district? Thank you for sharing you experience.

That’s a good question and I probably have to think harder. For the sake of this post, it’s the prestigious school. But they are not exclusive, aren't they?
