[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having sat through many a college tour recently- most have said they want to see you are taking challenging courses offered by your school. They don’t care if it’s AP, IB or Honors. There are admissions officers assigned to each region and they are familiar with what your school offers. 
Personally, I would be happy. And I’m the parent of a Wootton student who doesn’t see the benefit of the multiple AP classes (my junior has five this year). [/quote]

Good post and largely agreed. But no benefit compared to what? Taking regular courses? It’s hard to know because your student only chose this path. I understand the doubt - I share it - but I just don’t have anything with which to compare it. And at our school the regular classes are filled with less academically ambitious kids (I say that without judgement - I have two of those myself), so the whole point of taking AP classes is being with the driven, ambitious student cohort (and often the better teachers).[/quote]
