[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of privates don't offer APs. It really simplifies things a lot for kids and reduces stress. I'm glad my kid doesn't have to deal with it. Worth the cost of tuition. And if I hear another smug parent go on and on about how special their kid is because they took 15+ APs - it is diminishing marginal returns at some point.[/quote] Real privates don’t offer them at all. They are useless. Ironically, if you have a child applying to medical school some will ask, and have, “Why did you not take the full sequence of your science at X college/university, your AP high school science program was better than your colleges?” [/quote] That's a really weird thing to ask. Generally if a premed uses AO credit, they will be expected to make up for that with more advanced courses in the subject area. So if they place out of two semesters of bio via AP, they will be expected to take two more semesters of bio (e.g. microbio, biochem)[/quote]
