[quote=Anonymous]If you want a shot at top schools, there are plenty of people who get As in AP courses for the number of slots that there are. You have to be the kind of kid that can handle that. If you are looking at schools a tier down, most of them consider weighted GPAs, which typically reflect the rigor of the courses as well as the grades (although some look at unweighted as well, and some will just use GPAs as a cutoff). It is going to be a case-by-case and school-by-school (both what high school and what college) which is better, an A in a non-AP class or a B in an AP class. Overall there is no real gaming the system. Take courses that are appropriately challenging for your kid and try to do as well as you can in them.[/quote]
