When applying to college, you're kids are competing against kids from your private, not  kids at public.  The college admissions officers know what the privates allow, amd know what rigor means at your private.

[/quote]please elaborate. Is this good or bad?

If a school has a hard cap on the number of APs a student can take without exceptions, is that good or bad? Does AO hold that against them?[/quote]

When your DC applies to college, the CC at your school sends information about the curriculum/requirements which includes information about freshman not being able to take APs or max number of APs etc. If the college sees your kid has done the maximum rigor wise and has done well that’s a positive. If they see the kid has not done as much as another applicant from your school that’s a negative. [/quote]What is the logic for a school to have a hard cap on number of APs a student can take? It seems to be trying to work the system by allowing the student to claim they would take more but the school doesn't allow?[/quote]
