[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AP is a scam. [/quote] Kids at my DC's school are abandoning AP for dual enrollment. [b]Credits in hand are a good thing to have vs a test score that a college may or may not accept. [/b] The trade off is that the GPA bump isn't as high.[/quote] Don't most colleges accept 4s and 5s except for Ivy League schools?[/quote] No. My DD goes to a SLAC that accepts them only for placement.[/quote] In Selingo's book, "Who Gets In and Why" there is a moment in the Emory Admissiosn committee where they frown upon Dual Enrollment, and he says APs are seen as more rigorous. It makes me really sad actually, because every elite college is like, Oh no you don't have to take 15 APs, the first few years of HS especially are for exploring!, we understand the limitations of your schedule etc. etc..... then the prestigious college is like, ew dual enrollment, gross. But I think it is probably true.[/quote]
