[quote=Anonymous]I generally agree that AOs don't expect to see AP scores when their school does not provide AP classes. HOWEVER, most private school kids I've known (kids of friends) have taken some AP tests anyway (around 1-3 total before college apps) just to show a few scores. In some cases, it's because their private school is supposed to go beyond the material, so taking, e.g. Calc AB or Chem, does not require further study. In other cases, it's because the kid self-studies for another subject on their own time, e.g. Psych. Given that the AOs compare your kid to other kids at the same school, I think it would make sense to talk to some parents of kids who are older than your kid and ask them if those kids took APs, how many, etc. [/quote]
