[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UNC did research that showed no correlation with success in college beyond taking 5 AP classes.  So they changed their policy to not give any additional weight to applicants taking more than 5 AP classes.

Google the research for better explanation than I can give.

I think 5 or 6 is plenty.  3 might be fine.... as long as you do WELL in them.  It doesn't look as good to take 10 and only get 2's on the exams.[/quote]

Many colleges aren't even accepting the AP classes at all anymore.  Or at least looking at them and then making you retake the course or not giving you credit.  It changes yearly.  Please do your research and let your kids have a normal high school life.  Why stress them for the last 4 years of childhood.  I have never understood that. Only to go to a top notch school and stress them out not only with more school but debt too?   A Bachelor's means very little these days and the suicide, anxiety and depression is at an all-time high.  One can easily go to community for 2 years and then transfer or go to a state school and then look into what they want to do beyond their very inexpensive bachelor's degree they just earned.
