[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does everyone on this board seem to have a child with a near perfect SAT score and a 4.0 GPA?   Where are the normal kids?   The kids who are not cutthroat or taking 6 APs a year?   I can’t believe so many kids have perfect SaT scores.    Anyone “ normal” out there???[/quote]

6 APS? Normal at our school is 11+[/quote]

How are kids taking 11 APs in one year? The max number of classes is 6 or 7.[/quote]

This thread shows people don't read carefully. The first poster quoted said "6 APs a year" and the second poster was referring to total APs.

My kid is pretty normal compared to her peers with a 4.1 in FCPS and 1380 SAT. She will have 12 APs when she graduates. 6 are this year. It's not what I advised her to do, but she made the choice and it's been fine. She's kept her grades up despite challenging mental and physical health issues.

But of course you don't have to do all that to get into a good college. There are so many schools out there that will offer a great education. My DD got into her first choice school ED (competitive school but not T20), but her second choice was a school that admits more than 70% of applicants. She could have easily gotten in with much lower stats and been very happy.[/quote]
