[quote=Anonymous]Former admissions counselor here. No, GT programs generally make no difference in college admissions. AP scores can be important, as well as any other advanced programs your child participates in, especially in the final two years of HS. The first two years are not as influential, especially if the GPA trends upwards over the whole HS career. As for whether admissions will know about the curriculum for your HS and its rankings, it depends a lot on where your child applies, the geographic distribution of applicants, and the size of the school. In other words, we all generally know the top HS in most states, what schools are magnets, or selective admission, and what schools have IB diploma programs, but if I'm working for, say, University of Michigan, I may or may not be familiar with the number 3 HS in Virginia. I hope this helps answer the question.[/quote]
