[quote=Anonymous]Based on my reading of the college boards (here and on Reddit), kids with 4.3+ GPAs, 1500+ SAT scores, more than 8 AP classes and tons of extracurriculars get rejected from Ivies and other top 20 schools all the time. Regular parents and high schools are putting a lot more into college preparation, colleges are chasing rankings, and the common app lets kids apply to tons of schools so applicants are part of a much larger and more competitive pool. Its a total crapshoot, there are gazillions of kids chasing basically the same number of spots and its harder than ever to get in. I don't think APS's results are abysmal--and I don't think its helpful to make comments like that about the school system [i][u]or the kids[/u][/i]--I think they are pretty normal. [/quote]
