<p>Ok, um, what are some core/important classes I should take in High school? I want to go to a top Ivy league school. What do they like to see? include any classes</p>
<p>You should definitely take on your school’s most challenging course load, be it APs, IBs, Honors, etc. Also be sure to have at least 4 years of a certain foreign language under your belt. </p>
<p>Ivies most readily focus on SAT scores, extracurriculars, and volunteer work, so be sure to take on a challenging after-school load as well.</p>
<p>There are no exact courses they’d prefer. Take whatever class interests you, if possible, take its most difficult level. Ex. if you like bio, take AP bio.</p>
<p>I think they probably try to admit people with the critical thinking skills necessary to recognize that anonymous posters with completely different backgrounds do not make terribly reliable sources of specific, individual information.</p>
<p>^Still, you should take four years of each core class (science, social studies, math, english, and language), though four years may only be required for math and english.</p>
