[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid had no APs. They are at GDS that no longer supports them. I was worried about it but it apparently makes no difference. They are at a US News Top 5 university. [/quote]

Incoming. Now everyone is going to yell at you for being a privileged snob.

I don't think most people are criticizing schools who drop the AP label on classes but maintain or exceed the rigor.

The criticism is when kids in private schools take a lighter load (either by choice or because the private school have caps) and still get into top schools

dealing with what exactly? The AP scale is notorious for being generous and allowing teachers to skip parts of the curriculum and students can still get a 5 without extra self study. So if the course is just as rigorous why does it matter if it has the AP label or not?[/quote]
