[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My junior’s counselor stressed her out this week by saying the classes she was planning on taking next year weren’t rigorous enough so now she’s trying to find a way to cram more APs in.  So mad — we don’t play the AP collecting here and her the counselor had no issues with the rigor of her first three years. [/quote]

That is annoying. It would seem that by senior year, the kids have largely made their beds. I would seriously advise your daughter against making senior year extra tough. It won’t be easy to stay focused in the spring.

No, I think it's good advice.  My DC received the same last year and rearranged senior schedule because of it.  Don't take APs for the sake of APs, but do make sure the senior year schedule looks like a culminating experience, not a gap year.  The schools won't necessarily see the grades, and certainly not the test scores, but they expect a senior year schedule to look as strong or stronger than a junior year schedule.  This is someone who is hitting there stride and chomping at the bit to go to college.[/quote]
