[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read this thread but I have a child heading off to a public university this fall (Michigan, UVA, UNC, UCLA, Berkeley) from a school that eliminated most APs (GDS, Sidwell, NCS, STA) and we're exceedingly grateful that this kid took a bunch of AP exams. Without the AP exams you're stuck taking the entry level classes. Being in the higher level courses is already freeing them up to take more interesting classes and possibly double major--or at least have freshman year to figure out 2 majors because they're not having to take as many gen-eds. When my kid was in high school I was of the mindset of "screw the college board, who really cares about APs" but now i'm realizing how helpful it is that they took the exams. Just an FYI for those with younger kids. Attend the private high school but take the AP exams if at all possible (especially if your kid may end up attending a public university.)[/quote]
