[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AP courses are overrated.  The big 3 private schools will eliminate all AP classes in 2020 I think.

Where I work, we have quite a few people who attended TJ and went onto Carnegie Mellon, UVa, Georgia Tech.  I myself went to UVA.  All of us have to report to the VP who studied communications @GMU and played D1 soccer there.  The CFO was also a D1 soccer player @GMU and hired my boss.  He went from a worker to director then VP in three years.  The power of sports and networking is much more powerful than AP courses.[/quote]

Because they are not showing competitive results vs public schools.  APs are not meaningless at all.  And if they are not hard, why duck them?  And I'll circle back to you in 10 years to see how the network all works out/  There are those of us who can do both AP and soccer.  Those who can do only AP are more likely to do well than those who can do only athletics.  And the academic kids have a network too, though I can tell you none of it matters at places where you can earn real money.[/quote]

There are higher percentage kids from Potomac private school attending Ivies and Stanford than public schools. That's the fact.  Anyone can attend public schools.  Private school is by invitation only.  [b]Because they are not showing competitive results vs public schools[/b] is laughable.

D1 athletes, in general, have better opportunities than the general student population and better paying job than students who have better academic credentials.  For example, athletes are great at IT sales.  After ten years, IT sale people make around 700K/yr while a STEM engineer makes at most 200k/yr.  Not even close.[/quote]
