[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP's question was about getting into "a top college". If your child is seriouusly thinking about applying to an Ivy, top college, or math or engineering department in a big public, you need to have taken the AP courses your high school offers.[/quote] Complete nonsense. DS will be attending one of the Ivies this fall and he did not take any AP courses. Our HHI does not qualify for FA but [b]DS is an athlete[/b]. Good but not great GPA with no AP courses.[/quote] Well, duh! And you are proud of that? The result of us "normal students" have to have perfect records, take every AP course we can, get fabulous ACT, SAT and SAT II subject matter courses and scale tall mountains and your "athlete" just walks right in. And you think that is OK after this recent scandal?[/quote]
