  1. Calculus AB and BC


  2. Well, here's the thing -

    Any college you attend will require you to take some basics in addition to computer science courses.  Computer science major or not, if you want to get some of those basics out of the way now, and the colleges of you choice accept AP credits, take the AP classes you want!  

    I managed to knock off 39 hours of college credit via AP classes (that's more than an entire year of college).  It saved a lot of money, and it probably helped with getting some scholarships.

    Most colleges assume that you're going to change your major, and they're mostly looking at your overall academic performance when deciding whether or not to admit you or give you a scholarship.  

    Realize that not every college will accept every AP class.  Some colleges may accept English, History, and Government but not the other courses.  Check with the colleges you're looking at to make sure it even matters whether or not you take them.

    All this being said, higher level math (statistics, calculus BC) are good options.  There's a greater chance that colleges won't accept computer science AP classes - but check into it before you take my word!

  3. Calculus BC and some science-related course: biology, physics, or chemisty, whichever you prefer. also English is always good, mainly because its an easy class to get college credit for through the AP exam

  4. Physics,Graphic design,Computer software,Computer Hardware,Hacking,Computer Design...
