[quote=Anonymous][quote]She applied to the college of engineering with a major in chemical engineering (at least that is what it states on rejection from UCSB) and hasn't taken AP chemistry or AP physics yet. Her only other AP classes taken besides AP Calculus are AP European History and AP US History. It is harder to enter into any UC college of engineering than liberal arts college. And she doesn't list rejections from UC Merced or Riverside or Santa Cruz.[/quote]

My prestigious boarding school in NE had very few AP courses and our students took very few AP tests yet got into top colleges and universities.

A brilliant friend of mine from an inner city high school had no AP courses in her school curriculum and therefore did not take any AP tests.  She got into a top university.

Give me a break.  Take challenging courses in your own educational environment.  If you have big bucks take online AP courses go to summer school and self study for 25 AP tests to "prove"  your worth!   You may impress some adults...but not all...if this is the true measure of intellect and worth.[/quote]
