[quote=Anonymous]D25 accepted to school with 30% (ish) acceptance rate. The schools she targeted consistency said, it's not about the number of APs. They wanted to see she was taking the most rigorous coursework offered/available. She took 9 APs and 1DE. 2 AP English 2 AP Math (including Calc) 3 AP History (including APUSH) 1 AP Science/1 DE Science 1 AP Lang Also, she mainly took honors courses in 9th and 10th, as her school only allowed 1AP in sophomore year. Equally important, she did well on her APs (all 5s, and one 4 so far). It's not about the number. It's about the story conveyed by the coursework combined with other aspects of application. Especially if your school is known for a bit of grade inflation (which most are post-COVID). Multiple proof points, including strong SAT/ACT scores, rigor, AP exam scores, and a solid essay, can help tell the story. [/quote]
