[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all have too much money to see what’s actually going on. Temple, Penn, and MSU all offer significant merit discounts, and AP credits act as another form of discount. And yes, top schools promise to “meet demonstrated need.” But there’s a lot of families in DC with little to no “demonstrated need” who nevertheless can’t stomach the idea of paying an extra $200k for WUSL or Tufts over Penn State.[/quote] It's becoming rare for competitive colleges to offer AP credits as discounts in this century. Many competitive colleges have stopped offering AP credit discounts in recent years, to help make ends meet. An incoming student with a high AP score can place into a higher-level class, that's it.[/quote] Yes, that’s why I suggested it as one reason a cost-conscious student might choose a lower-ranked school where the APs count for something over a higher-ranked college where they don’t.
