[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg, stop. This line of thinking is bananas. Admissions counselors know what the course load and rigor is at a specific high school. They will know for example how unique it is for a student to be in AP Calc BC in Junior year or at some schools, not unique at all.

Relax. It will be all fine. Don’t burn out and kid and make them hate high school because you insist on having them take 12 APs before Senior year.

+1  Your AP scores don't matter as they are not required as part of your application.  Don't try to cram AP's into grades 9-11.  [b] Our DD is heading to an Ivy in the fall and had completed only 1 AP prior to senior year.[/quote][/b]

How many AP’s did her school offer? Did most top students take more than one AP?  Did the school also offer honors classes or was it just regular and AP? [/quote]

Her school offers 20 different AP courses.  Most top students take more than 1 AP prior to senior year.   Yes Honors courses are offered and her non-AP classes were generally (but not all) Honors level. [/quote]

Something more to this story. Kids don’t normally get into ivies by taking easier classes. [/quote]

Mix in top 1% SAT, good GPA, ED application, strong ECs and demonstrated interest.   Yes, it is very doable without a pile of APs.[/quote]

Top SAT and easy classes looks like a coaster. Sure, fine, it can happen but extremely unlikely given the competitive landscape. [/quote]
