| How many APs did your child take during HS. Could you share by grade and what score they received? |

Senior DD took one in 10th grade (APUSH) , 5 in 11th (Calc BC, Chem, World, Lang, microeconomics). 5s on all six AP exams. She’s taking two APs right now (Lit, Latin). |

2 junior year (or 3? Do you count Micro/Macro as one or 2 since they are only one semester?). Micro, Macro, Spanish.
2 senior year - Stats and BC Calc 5 on everything except Spanish (4) Magnet school with very limited AP offerings, colleges know this. 4-5 APs is typical and 20% of the class gets into Ivies. |

| Mine took 3 soph year (all 5’s) and plans to take 3 more this junior year, and will take 3 or 4 senior year, so 9 or 10 total. This is pretty much maxing out what she is able to take at her school. |

It depends on how many the school offers. Our school offers only a select few.
1-freshman year 3-sophmomre year 3-junior year (doing multivariable which doesn't have an AP) Not sure what senior year will look like. |

Kid 1 had 7, but a higher gpa (w4.1), all the rest honors except 1-2 electives.
Kid 2 will have 8, mix of honors and regular. Gpa w3.5. I think the gpa will matter more. Most kids do not have 10+ |

I wonder this too. You’ll get replies from the ones whose kids took a lot and/or scored well. Probably not too many from parents like me whose kids did DE (and oldest walked into college with 57 credits but got nothing for the 5 on their one AP). As always, YMMV. |

I am one of the posters above. My kid has both DE and APs. |

Most kids do not have 10+ Generalities don't work on questions like this. You have to know your school. In the most competitive publics in suburban DC, YES the most competitive kids DO have 10+. My DD graduated with 14, but the kid with the most APs in her school was 19 or 20. Those are the kids that end up at the top 20s. |

My DS took 7 total and is in his 2nd yr at Princeton.
What you took and why and how that impacted you is so much more important than racking up 12-13 APs. |
