Picking the Right Courses

There are many considerations when it comes time to pick courses, and these vary based on each student’s personal goals, skills, and interests. Choosing the right courses can help students develop existing skills and provide the background needed to meet long-term goals. Students should keep in mind their high school graduation requirements, as well as any college application requirements for schools they are interested in attending.

For college admissions, there are certain classes that all colleges require students to have completed, though the levels are flexible so students may be able to choose between traditional and more advanced course options. It is important to pick courses that will meet these requirements while also developing individual areas of interest. A well-crafted selection of courses will enable students to achieve their highest possible GPA and will help get them into their dream school. Enhanced Prep tutors help students, parents, tutors, and advisors work as a team to help make this a reality for students.

Course selection should also take into consideration personal interests when choosing electives and balancing coursework with the demands of a student’s extracurricular activities so students can perform at the highest level in both classes and extracurricular activities. The impact of high school courses on future options such as internships and jobs should also be well thought-out, and a tutor from Enhanced Prep can help students carefully consider all of these aspects. Courses can give students background in areas they are interested in to help them stand out from the crowd in future endeavors.

Factors to Consider in Course Selection

A student needs to consider their personal interests and strengths as well as areas where they would like to see improvement when selecting courses. This can feel overwhelming, which is why Enhanced Prep provides resources for students who need us most. Courses that will advance students in areas they are passionate about need to be considered as these can provide the student a basis for future success in a field they are interested in.

The availability of certain classes and any prerequisites and co-requisites need to be taken into consideration when planning courses. Some classes might require the completion of a different course—known as a prerequisite--before a student is allowed to take the class, so students will need to make sure they have fulfilled appropriate requirements. Some introductory college classes will also require completing a certain high school level course; for instance, an introductory college math class might require a background in high-school level algebra, so it is important to research that information as well. Likewise, some classes might require another class, such as a lab class, be taken at the same time, and it is vital to make sure that course selection leaves space for this requirement.

In addition, certain classes may only be available certain times of the year which can affect course selection, and students need to prioritize appropriately to get the classes they need. Students should also explore alternatives to certain courses and decide if there is another way to obtain similar skills and information. Throughout the course selection process, Enhanced Prep works with each student to determine what strategies will work best for them to maximize their chances of getting into their dream school and meet their goals.
