[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As many as DC can handle and still get good grades. Goal is to have most rigorous box checked by school counselor. Also want to have GPA near the top of class. Even if school doesn’t rank colleges see where your kid falls on a percentile basis at their HS. So, most likely 8+ if school offers a decent amount of APs. [/quote] I think this is the answer. My teens are/were at well-regarded MCPS public high schools, where kids need to take all the hardest APs to stand out. The MCPS magnet kids not only check the magnet box, but since they don't have AP courses in their curriculum, they also self-study and take the AP exams on the side! It's a crazy arms race over here.
