[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on what sort of college she’s aiming for.[/quote] This is key. My kids are at top 40 schools, one took fewer classes each semester, the other graduated in 3 years, due to APs. They had 12 or 13 total. Top schools want to see rigor, and the way to demonstrate rigor is by taking APs. Fewer at private schools, more in public schools. If your child has zero intentio of attending a top 50/100 school, don't worry about APs. And I would have this conversation with their counselor - they know who from the school gets in where[/quote] Isn't it weird to go to a top school and then avoid taking the breadth and depth of courses there? Its great for extra-curriculars and networking, but not an endorsement of the academic level. [/quote]
