So much information about Michigan is flat out false here. |
Seems like this will penalize high schools with tough grading policies. My AP Calculus class had 15 people. Only 2 people got A's in the class, but all 15 of us had 5 scores on the AP test. This was at a mid-sized public HS in California (graduating class of 450).
AP scores provide more context for the GPA. |
I think this post is out-of-date.
There was a window of time this year when this page on the MI website said that APs will not be considered at all. However, I think they have since changed the website again. It does not seem like they place a huge emphasis on APs but the site no longer says that they are 100% irrelevant. |
It's wonderful that they have your well-researched, informed, and helpful observations on the matter. I'm sure it will change their opinion and practice. |
