[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a highly selective school 35 years ago and even then most of my AP credits weren't accepted. Why would it be different now?[/quote]
When Cal stopped accepting AP credits, even 5s, almost every selective public school followed. This was almost 20 years ago and was basically a shift over 2 years- I just remember it because my college counselor talked about it a lot.

Privates I applied to made it clear they didn’t accept AP credit as credit towards graduation but you could skip the prerequisites from some classes (like you could only take Math 55 if you got a 5 on BC). I don’t know when that started and if there was a leader, it was just long before I applied to schools.[/quote]

New England privates never gave credit.  They only used APs for placement.[/quote]

I went to a New England private and got lots of AP credits.  I could have skipped a year of college.  Stop speaking in generalizations as if you are an authority of all universities in that region.[/quote]
