[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I disagree because, at least at our school, honors and AP classes receive the same weight when calculating GPA. So, yes, AP is perceived as higher but statistically the distinction between honors and AP is "meaningless."

At application time your DC's school's councilor will send a description of the two types of courses to each college.

You need to contact your DC's councilor ASAP and see if you are correct or not.

At our school, they had the same weighting but the descriptions indicated that AP classes were much more rigorous.

The review of a college application at schools that are even marginally selective is much more than comparing weighted GPAs.[/quote]

Seriously, some of you people need to CHILL. This is not an emergency. I UNDERSTAND that counselors explain the levels of classes to colleges. I UNDERSTAND that AP's are considered more rigorous than honors. I am just saying that the STATISTICAL WEIGHT assigned to both of those course grades when GPA's are calculated are the same. You all seem to have totally drank the kool aid that your kids may not survive the future unless they kill themselves taking the absolute highest number of AP courses they can possibly manage.

Seriously our successful college search is already behind us. So we get how it works. We just believe in breathing through the process. [/quote]

Weird post. No one thinks this is an emergency. Better get back on your meds. [/quote]

the meds comment is so tired, seriously get a new line.  I agree with the PP. [/quote]

Good that you’re agreeing with your own posts.  [/quote]
