Excellent not good SAT scores will help, 2300+.   Admission Committees at elite colleges and universities will expect that top students from excellent private schools will have excellent grades in the most challenging classes offered (APs & honors), excellent SAT scores, and meaningful participation in ECs.  They also want to read dynamic essays.  [/quote]There are some non-AP/honors courses that are equally recognized with accelerated courses.  My daughter elected to take astrophysics instead of honors physics because that's the course that was most appealing.  She chose statistics instead of AB calc.  She had Algebra 2 instead of accelerated Math 2.  She did have AP Chinese and a capstone seminar.  SAT 2300, 3.85 GPA.  No legacy, non-ethnic.  She is class of 2017 at Princeton.   So, OP, it just depends on what the college is looking for.  While colleges do look at curriculums, you certainly should apply.  There is much competition, but perfection is no guarantee of college acceptance at the big gun schools[/quote]
