[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is fascinating. You save a fortune by going off to college with a bunch of APs and coming from public school my child was offered quite a few scholarships which also save us a lot of money. I cannot imagine paying private school tuition not to have the level of rigor guaranteed that is needed to pass an AP exam. I also cannot imagine colleges won't look down on this unless these are families that could potentially be massive donors. Who came up with this idea?

I myself went to private school and we had plenty of APs. I didn't send my own kids because [b]I don't want them in a wealthy bubble[/b].[/quote]

Can  you name one high performing public school that isn't a wealth bubble?  Ignore the magnets.[/quote]

Why ignore the magnets? They are not by-right schools. They have an admissions process and are not geographically bounded. Same as privates. Granted they don’t cost $30k-$60k/yr and are more socioeconomically diverse than the privates that have dropped APs. [/quote]
