[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate to say that it depends. Colleges want to see that you are taking the most challenging curriculum available. At our MCPS HS the top students end up with about 10 APs. A few will have more. They normally have 2-3 by the end of 10th grade. But at some of the competitive private schools 4-6 is more common (and sometimes they aren't called AP classes but kids take the AP test at the end of the year.) Jay Mathews recently said to aim for 3-5. The other thing colleges are looking for is progress in a subject. So it's better to take 4 years of math and science if thats your interest than it is to take AP art history just for the sake of having an AP. [/quote] I don't recommend it, but how do kids have 2-3 APs by the end of 10th grade? My DD in FFX County public only had AP History (and at the time I thought that was the max). [/quote]
