<p>My son just received his report card. </p>
<p>GPA 4.5 weighted
4.0 unweighted
Class rank 2/422</p>
<p>His passion is music, but does not want to major in it. He sings for the high school/ and also was the piano accompanianst. He actually taught himself the piano, but i did enroll him for 1 1/2 yrs of formal training. Has done competitions etc, hasnt had any desire to do so. He also sings for a Youth Oratorio outside of school. He also plays the violin, and did play the trumpet.</p>
<p>He is now seriously thinking about his plans for college. He is taking all Honors courses his sophomore year Eng, Alg 2, Chemistry, Civics and Econ, Pre-Cal, Advanced Chorus and then French 2.</p>
<p>Junior year - AP Eng 3, AP Calculus AB and BC (i think he needs to take both at his high school), Honors and AP History, French 3, AP Enviorn, AP Bio (mayb)</p>
<p>His senior year would be - AP English 4, APY Physics (i think sits for the C Exam), AP Chemistry (yearlong), AP Stats, AP Computer science (or he could take this in his junior year) and then take French 4</p>
<p>My question to you all is this: In his Junior year, his plans are to take AP Eng 3, AP Calculus AB and BC, Honors US History then AP History, AP Envirn (has to take), French 3 (mayb 4) or might take AP Bio.</p>
<p>As you can see he doesnt have Chorus in his Junior/Senior year. Do or would colleges look down at him because he is concentrationg on his academics (thats why he wants to drop his chorus). He would still sing for the Youth Oratorio outside of school.</p>
<p>He wants to go into math/science field - possibly nuclear/chemical engineering</p>
<p>Any advice comments are welcome</p>
