[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many top private schools like Philips Andover, Riverdale Country, Choate Hall, etc. don't offer formal APs and have their own version of college-level advanced courses where they can create the syllabus/curriculum and not have to be limited to the College Board outlines.

I don't think students from Andover etc. are impacted negatively in college matriculation. They actually do really well! These are known schools and it's all well laid out in the school profile.

But if you're in a public or private school that doesn't offer any APs, you'll never be penalized for it. I just went to an event with a bunch of AOs from multiple colleges and they all reinforced that they just want to see you take highest rigor the student can handle and do well in IF it's offered at your school.[/quote]

It definitely is an issue. Some
colleges will not recalculate the higher track non AP.  Schools also may not be allowed to talk to colleges and school profiles may not be able to articulate this point enough.[/quote]
