KEEP IN MIND…..
Colleges are more concerned with GPA than curriculum (although they care about both).
Colleges DO NOT know what diploma type you receive (beginning with the Class of 2017 there will only be one diploma type)
Only take honors or AP classes if you have had the previous honors course OR a high “A” in the previous course.
Follow your teachers’ recommendations concerning your course selection.
