[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Call me crazy, but personally, I think schools see kids with 15 APs (all 5s) and think "she'll graduate early so that's a year less of tuition."  It's a business. [/quote]

Hmm, this does make quite a bit of sense. I actually thought that all her APs would give her a boost, especially with her scores.[/quote]

This actually makes no sense because most of these schools are privates won't allow more than a couple of courses for credit so she would be going all 4 years anyway. The APs are only useful for demonstrating rigor and for course placement.[/quote]

Yes, but UVA accepts AP credits - We were the most surprised with this WL. Did not expect it at all.[/quote]

Yes, You DD should get in UVA, and big chance she will be picked-up from all WLs, she has pretty good stats, but lack leadership, sound award, job experience, major is also very competitive, maybe essay is weak too?
JHU would be hard reach. My DD got in JHU last year, will slightly better stats, multiple leadership positions, national award, numerous state awards, solid job experience, most important, she's none stem major.

It's not end of the world, she can transfer if doesn't get off WLs.[/quote]
