[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They won't necessarily know your kid took a language before 9th because it won't be on the transcript (you may need to ask for it not to be on there...) But most of the top colleges want to see rigor across the board,[b] that means AP in all classes[/b], including languages. If you're starting a new language in 9th you'll only get to 4th year in that language by 12 and your kid will be applying against others who started in 6th grade, completed AP in 10th or 11th[/quote] Nope. No one expects kids to have 8-12 APs.[/quote] There are kids coming out of Whitman with 14 AP classes and this has been the norm for some time.[/quote] They are only compared to other kids in their school. OP's kid's private school has no APs.[/quote] No, they will be compared to other kids in similar schools. We know the AP exams / courses have been dropped from many privates. That's not the comparison point.[/quote]
