[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A number of the more-rigorous local private schools are eliminating AP classes. They announced it as a cohort, I guess so no one would be at a disadvantage. The reasoning is that their regular classes are already college-level, and they can be more flexible and creative with the curriculum if they ditch the standardized AP fare. (Less memorization, more Harkness discussions and papers, for example.) The kids can still take the exams if they want. My DS scored a 5 on APUSH, for instance, taking non-AP US History and with no additional prep. [/quote]

OP please don’t hijack my thread. It’s not relevant if private schools do away with APs. No one cares.

To other who have made suggestions, thanks. College of Wooster was on my list for her but it was too rural, I think.

She doesn’t like VCU but agree it’s good for medicine.

What do people know about Davidson or Dennison?[/quote]

:roll: 
I asked PP to clarify because I had never heard that. You would neverrrrrrrrrrrrrr do such a thing and act in your own self-interest or curiosity for even a moment! You are super selfless, I can tell! FYI people care a heck of a lot more about privates eliminating APs then where your kid applies to college.[/quote]

Feel free to start your own thread about that then. Don’t hijack mine.

I mean, I could see why people would be upset to be paying tuition to schools that can’t even be bothered to offer AP classes and have some concern that the competitive advantage they perceive over public schools that do may be eroding, but that isn’t the topic of my thread.[/quote]
