[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a part of Jeff Selingo's book where he discusses the AOs at selective schools seeing DE as less rigorous as AP.[/quote] My high school only had DE, no AP at offerings (this was 20 years ago but my following point still stands). DE target audience is community college students, usually a cohort that is barely college bound and few standout students (because even if they had zero money, top students would have options with merit scholarships better than CC). So it’s just a less rigorous curriculum, and if you are actually enrolled with community college students, it’s a less academic cohort. It worked well at my school because only 30% of our class even went to college and about half of that was going to community college anyways. [/quote]
