[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^^Ummm, those private schools that omitted AP still offer the curriculum but in a manner they consider "better" than the standard AP curriculum and their students still take the AP exam at the end.[/quote]

AP exams are optional.

As an example, see Phillips Exeter:

[quote][b]How important are AP exams?  How many, and when should my child take AP exams?[/b]

Colleges do not expect our students to take AP exams because Exeter does not teach to the AP curriculum.  However, we do encourage students to take AP exams if they plan to apply to foreign universities (e.g. Oxford or Cambridge.)  AP exams are offered each May on the PEA campus; registration instructions are posted on Blackboard and in the Daily Bulletin.  Read more about AP exams on the College Board website.[/quote][/quote]

Well Phillips Exeter is a very highly regarded private, with a long track record of excellence. Colleges know that kids there are taking a very rigorous course load. Comparing PE with your average public, parochial (or even most private) school is like comparing apples and oranges. [/quote]
