More AP courses or electives in "passions"?

<p>I appreciate all the advice.</p>

<p>She is taking a year-long honors music theory class this year (prerequisite for AP music theory in her school) and averaging around 95-100 on that. Wondering about taking the AP exam this year instead of waiting for senior year when the AP music theory will be offered again.</p>

<p>Her choir is a ‘by audition only’ honors class and she needs to be in it to qualify for the All-State choir which she got into and likes a lot. So she is reluctant to drop the choir.</p>

<p>Creative writing would also be a very demanding class and would sustain her other passion- writing, which may well turn into a future career. It would take up a lot more of her time and effort and be a lot more meaningful for her than say the AP Statistics would. </p>

<p>But the concern is really that it will look like she took easy electives instead of “hard” AP classes, as IHaveAHobbie says. And she really wants to get into a top school.</p>
