[quote=Anonymous]Hi! My DS took DE English two years ago instead of AP Lit in 12th grade. I too was worried about his admissions chances and the rigor of his courses. Asked a FCPS HS counselor. He wasn’t sure how colleges perceive the difference. DS was insistent he take DE or he was going to take Honors English 12 instead. He’s a math/science kid and did not want AP Lit. Figured DE was better than Honors. I don’t think it mattered one bit in his college admissions. He was accepted at UVA, VA Tech, Cornell, UCLA, GA Tech, UT Austin, etc. He was WL at Princeton and WL at UPenn. For what it’s worth, fall of senior is tough. So many essays to write and applications to fill out. I remember he had all nighters. He was a kid who did not miss one day of school freshman to junior year, and missed many days senior year to work on applications. My biggest advice is not AP vs DE but getting working on the applications NOW.[/quote]
