As for marketing, here is some advice based on experience; don't believe everything the focus groups tell you, they lie.



If you haven't already taken AP statistics, I suggest you do. At the college level statistics is a monster, but the AP course is supposed to be well organized.

Thanks for the advice! I finished my first tech class last night and will be finishing my second later this week. So far I am preferring college classes to high school courses.

For anyone here with kids in the late middle and early highschool age, I can't suggest ap classes enough, they are far more preparatory then anything else I have taken.
