[quote=Anonymous]Lots of privates don't have APs. My kid's NYC private also doesn't have APs and exmissions are great. Part of the reason we chose private over a top tier NYC selective public was to avoid dealing with APs as the whole AP process has gotten out of hand. There is enough pressure on the kids without dealing with countless AP tests. To better answer the question (as some people have tried to do), make sure that the school makes it very clear that your child has taken the most difficult classes the school offers. This is all they can do. There might be a bit more pressure on them to do well on SAT/ACT and do something academic as an extracurricular or summer activity. But even at top schools, not everyone is expected to be on the super academic PhD track. If your kid is bright enough and can handle the work but brings other things to the table, that is good enough.[/quote]
