Just about every college in the country will tell applicants that high school course selection is one of the most important factors in determining admissibility to college. But how many AP or honors classes should you take? Is it important to take four years of science, language, or math? And what if you’re debating between AP Calc or Statistics? These are exactly the kinds of decisions that many applicants face. If you’ve got the same questions or others like them, I hope you’ll join us at this upcoming free webinar.
Science and English and Math, Oh My! Choosing High School Classes
Tuesday, March 27
6 p.m. – 7 p.m. PST
Cost: Free
I’d also like to offer an important disclaimer for this topic. This webinar will give you a lot of great information and advice about course selection and its role in the college admissions process, but it’s not a replacement for a discussion with your high school counselor. Good course scheduling weighs factors like what subjects you enjoy the most, which you find more challenging, where you want to attend college, and a host of other factors that are unique to you. This is a little bit like financial planning, diet and exercise, or auto maintenance. Broader best practices are accepted and worth following. But the specifics of every individual are different.
So, I invite you to learn from our webinar and then channel that knowledge into a personal course planning discussion with your counselor. And in the unlikely event that any of the advice conflicts, listen to your counselor.
More information, and the registration information, is here. And if you can’t make it live and would like to view a video of the event, please register anyway. We’ll make a video of the webinar available to registrants for up to two weeks after the event. I hope you’ll join us.
