[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]our student is at a public HS with limited college or guidance counseling so he is pretty confused and we're from out of country.

he is aiming for UVA, Tufts etc. he knows that is hard. he is currently getting unweighted grades of B+ to A range.

how many APs should he take in junior year to be competitive? he's picking his courses next week.[/quote]

This will depend on his high school. What school system is he in?[/quote]

Some kids will do the same amount of work and get the same grade whether they take AP or not.

It may depend on the teacher whether the class is actually interesting, is a GPA killer, etc.

Parents also need to understand whether buying AP credits onto their child's college transcript is something they plan on doing.  It doesn't make sense at some universities.

Maybe post your child's draft/sample course picks and then people could help better?

In the meantime, have your kid ask friends about the reputation of the classes at his school.[/quote]
