My son, a sophomore in high school, decided he wants to double up on AP science courses senior year. However, it turns out that he hasn't yet fulfilled a one-semester arts requirement and next year (junior year) there does not seem to be room because he has a mandatory study hall. That leaves senior year to fulfill this art course, which then means he won't be able to do double science.
The only option I can see is that he drop Italian senior year. He's not especially good at language. He is, however, excelling in science and is thinking of going premed. BUT.....he doesn't want to drop Italian because most selective schools like to see four years of a language. So as long as he takes one AP science course each year for the next two years, does it matter that he's not doubling up? He's not looking at HYP, Stanford or MIT but still interested in pretty selective schools.
