[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello Parents, Does taking APs help in getting college admission into good universities even if a kid is in high school magnet program? What are the advantages of self study APs?[/quote] If your kid is in a high school magnet program, they are taking AP or AP equivalent classes and would be taking the corresponding tests. (And yes, this demonstrated rigor helps with college admissions.) There are very few APs that students self-study instead of taking the class. Usually this is because they have high interest but the class isn't offered or they can't fit it into their schedule. There is no real advantage for an extra 2 or 3 APs on top of a usual magnet load of 10-12 APs beyond the possibility of 6-9 extra elective credits in college (depending on where).[/quote]
