[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t over do the APs.  The golden rule is to take the most rigorous classes that you could do well in.  No point of getting all Bs in 6 APs.  Some schools will take the AP weight off and only see the Bs.  Be choosy and focus on APs in his major interest and leave the rest.  DS ended up a 5 APs total but honor/advanced classes in others where AP isn’t offered.  He is ending his high school career w strong GPAs, AP scores, internships, a sport, music and only a handful of late nights (past midnight) and a sane mind. His admission road this year has been very successful.  His biggest stressor now, aside from prepping for AP physic C exams, is deciding which college to enroll in.

Good luck.[/quote]

Absolutely not. Better to have B's in AP classes than a B in honors or regular classes. No college takes the AP weight because of the grade. If anything most colleges recalculate students GPA and put more weight on AP classes. Colleges are not just looking for straight A students and its this kind of pressure that's making a lot of kids to be on meds
