[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you positive the school has actually approved these courses for your son’s friends? Maybe they just submitted course requests with 3-4 APs and the school won’t approve them when the time comes to release the actual schedules.[/quote]
Yes. All the requests have been approved pending final grades for the courses that have final grade requirements. DC and friends have been talking about it. Apparently it’s quite common for kids to take more APs than the stated limit.

What I’m annoyed about is that the school’s claims to have a limit but doesn’t hold to what they say. One positive of the school was its supposed approach to APs. “Rigor” is touted by HS counselors and college AOs alike as extremely important in the application process. But rigor is subjective and comparative - it’s how a selected course load compares to what a school offers or allows as well as what other students take. So based on what the school claimed, DC’s rigor seemed like it would be comparatively strong. Instead, it will be much weaker. It’s annoying to have the goal posts moved late in the game. [/quote]
