[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"The problem with APs, is that it has become the de facto “most rigorous” course load at a high school.

Although a college may not accept the credits, most still make the “rigorous” consideration (for admissions) based on how many your student took while in high school."

[b]So don't take the exams. [/b] [/quote]

As a former college counselor, [b]it doesn't look great to admission folks when someone *doesn't* take the exam.[/b] This is especially true if most students take the exam at your high school.[/quote]

"Maybe" true thru Junior year. By the time kids take senior AP exams, admission decisions are in already. [/quote]

eh, those admissions decisions can still be revoked though.  Especially if a school has over admitted or has an abundance of well qualified transfer students looking to gain admission in the spring.[/quote]
Just stop. Colleges don’t revoke admissions offers for not taking to AP exam. What a moronic comment. [/quote]
