[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP—enough with the A in AP classes. Yes we all know that is the best a student can do and schools will look favorably upon that. However, that was not one of the choices OP provided. A B in an AP class or an A in an Honors class is a real scenario that many students face. For students in this scenario, stating A in an AP class is not helpful.[/quote] For students choosing between an A in a regular course and a B in an AP course, elite colleges are not on the table. And non-elite colleges don’t “look favorably” on anything. Non-elite colleges admit (and grant merit) by the weighted GPA printed on the transcript (and test scores if you submit them). In that scenario the choice presented is a wash, so college admissions are irrelevant to the decision. [/quote]
