[quote=Anonymous]Also at a private with no AP and excellent college placement. Imo, the lack of AP curriculum is an advantage - and only an Issue if kids are looking at top state flagship programs. Both in terms of the gpa calculation, if seeking merit $, and the fact that lots of kids enter those public universitues with enough AP college credits to skip a semester or 2. However, if applying to top private colleges/ivy, there is no issue - those colleges know our school curriculum and rigor. Our kids dont have weighted gpa, dont have perfect 4.0. On contrast, every public hs kid we know has all A's in AP classes with multiple test retakes, etc  lots of grade inflation even in AP courses. Many never take/report the AP test scores because they are not great. Those kids do get onto top flagships but not as much t10-20. I think having to take all AP/highest rigor is total bs. Drives the kids crazy, creates unnecessary stress, and then it doesn't even count that much within the 'holistic' admission process.
