My senior just graduated, OP, with a dozen AP classes, like many students.

[b]AP is the new Honors.
Honors is the new Regular.
Regular is the new Remedial.[/b]

This has been going on for years. 
If you don't know this, you haven't been paying attention.

If you care at all about college admissions, you have to play that game. There are plenty of 4.2 wgpa, multiple-AP students who are rejected from UMD.

That's the way it was a few years ago, but now what's happening is the schools are not even offering Regular classes. Everyone gets put together in what they are calling Honors classes. [/quote]

Not for every topic, but yes. I don't think my son took regular classes in anything except PE, art and 12th grade electives. Even his tech requirement was fulfilled by AP Computer Science Principles in 9th grade.

But I saw his Honors English 9 and 10 - completely basic curriculum. It's a regular class they call Honors, it's not an advanced class whatsoever.
Same for his Honors science classes: very easy. He took nothing but APs in social studies all 4 years of high school, and none of it was hard: just a lot of reading and processing, but not intellectually difficult.
