[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS parents , do you know is ap and de are truly treated the same for UVA and other competitive universities ? School counselor says they are the same in terms of rigor but how do admission officers view them? [/quote] DEs are hit or miss. Many DEs especially the ones offered through community college lack in rigor compared to AP courses & exams. Even with AP, the AP course does not matter, it is the exam score of 4 or 5 that makes AP worth its weight in gold for both admissions and eventual college credits. The only instances where DEs are better than base high school advanced courses are the post AP ones from universities (GMU, JMU, UMD, etc...) not the non-community college ones. [/quote]
