SJC regular students are competing against the scholars students in their own school who have carte Blanche on the APs and honors courses. If they are applying to the same 100 colleges  (which they are) the scholars student will have a superior GPA due to the AP gate keeping. It doesn’t matter what other schools are doing. If you don’t enter SJC as a scholar or an elite athlete, you will fall through the cracks. It does matter what SJC is doing to it’s own students with a lopsided playing field. Which is fine is that is how they run things but parents of regular need to know this and understand how this actually plays out in the real world college admissions versus how it reads in the SJC handbook so they can make informed decisions.[/quote]

You do know there are no size limits on the Scholars classes, right? So if you are applying, be sure your kid applies to Scholars. [/quote]
