<p>My son caught the eye of his guidance counselor (who was brand new his sophomore year) by having the highest PSAT scores of any of her students, maybe of any of the other sophomores as well. He also had scheduling issues every year which meant he had to sit with her the first day of school to try to figure out what he was going to have to take instead of what he'd signed up for. </p>
<p>The IB program doesn't allow that many options does it? Can you sit with her and ask for advice on electives or extra curricular activities? Or perhaps summer activity suggestions?</p>
