[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what math will she end with? Work backwards. Calc AB would be ambitious enough. Respectable. I guess no Calc and AP Stats if she's not shooting too high re: colleges.

DD was not selected for AAP but did well in Calc BC, AP Chem. AP Physics C - [b]so some students from the Gen Ed classes end-up kicking some AAP butt![/b]

-sorry, couldn't help myself[/quote]

As an AAP parent of a middle schooler and elementary schoolers if people don't assume the bolded going into the program, they're delusional. One of my friends who teaches AP Bio chose not to enroll her accepted kid into AAP because she didn't see the point for her particular kid and half her AP Bio kids came from gen ed. AAP was right for my kids (they wanted the math), but I don't think that means my kids will be somehow better than many of their gen ed peers at any subject.[/quote] Only half? But AAP kids are only 20% of the population. So AAP kids are 4 times as likely as gen ed kids to make it into her AP biology.

(This is the part where I make a snide remake about your intelligence if you can't figure out where the 4x figure comes from)[/quote]
