[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you go to a school that doesn't offer AP classes, do you think taking the AP exam matters? (I'm asking for admission; I know that credit will vary by school)[/quote]

I read somewhere once that admissions committee aren’t usually impressed by this - that they’d rather see you do something else with your time. But it was in the context of people trying to add on even more APs. Accumulating them for the sake of doing so. I think it could help support an application with a high score where APs aren’t offered at the school, especially if taking for a similar class actually enrolled in. I wouldn’t think it necessary for a top known private but helpful coming from a weaker school less familiar to admissions.[/quote]

I agree with this. If your school doesn't have APs, colleges understand that so maybe don't even play that game and just focus on the hardest curriculum, GPA, SAT/ACT, EC.

On the plus side, though, colleges maybe wouldn't expect any AP exam scores, so DC could attempt them, and only send the 5s? Just my conjecture, though! Definitely discuss with your school counselor.[/quote]
