How I decided
My suggestion is to select classes based on these elements:
a) Follow your interests. If there are any subjects that you enjoy, that will make their studying more appealing.
b) Explore possible career paths. If you have not decided on a future college major or career, some of the AS and A level classes offer a great opportunity to learn about fields that you are considering
c) Add rigor to your academic coursework. Colleges which have a holistic approach for student admissions, and the most selective schools use that criterion, consider rigor of academic coursework as one of the elements to evaluate a candidate
These are some of the classes I picked and why I took them:
- AICE Spanish A Level & AICE Spanish AS Level: my family is Hispanic but my Spanish needed some improvement
- AICE Psychology AS Level: I was considering a major in psychology which I ended up pursuing
- AICE English Language A Level: taking the highest level of English Language showed academic rigor in my college applications
