[quote=Anonymous]For APs, try to find the balance between great grades and rigorous classes. The GPA and/or grades are incredibly important. The number of APs is not especially important - which ones and how many will depend on the kid's interests and abilities. If this is a top student aiming for top schools, a rough rule of thumb would be to have at least one AP in each of the core subject areas if possible (English, science, math, social studies, foreign lang), though it's also possible to let one subject go by the wayside. I'd aim for 6-8 total if top-20s are on the list. If the high school ranks by GPA, pay attention to weighting and what the other top students are taking. (Yes, I think it is a game, one that can be played wisely/carefully without overloading.) But, it isn't a race, and ultimately more of a you-do-you scenario.[/quote]
