[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid did the same with basically two AP classes as electives freshman year and sophomore. Yes, it is nuts but apparently the way "the game" is played in college admissions for public high school kids. The tests are expensive and very few, if any, good colleges even accept the credit. That said, it is what colleges are looking for. They look for kids to [b]take the most challenging classes they can[/b]. [/quote] Exactly. Which is why many are opting for private schools with less of an emphasis on APs. The colleges are aware of what the schools offer, and as long as the kid is taking "the most challenging classes [b]they can[/b]" in that particular school, they will be just as eligible as the public school kid taking twice as many APs. That is how the game is played.[/quote] This works at private high schools with reputations for rigor. Not so much at less rigorous private high schools.[/quote]
