[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- I was specifically looking for mental health issues at WJ if they are similar to Whitman? None of these responses have been helpful. I know the test scores and not really care about the differences in them in regards to test scores. [/quote]

You should have drawn an inference from the PP at WJ who suggested WJ kids need to take 12-14 AP courses to attend a good university.  [/quote]

And you think somehow they can take fewer AP courses at Whitman and sail right into Harvard? What a stupid inference that would be. WJ kids are competitive with Whitman kids for top colleges -- and I assume you understand that college admissions overall are extraordinarily competitive these days.[/quote]

I don’t think that was their point. Pp was suggesting WJ is similarly cut throat if that’s the norm. That said, I have a good student at WJ who is on track for about 8 APs. I wouldn’t say 12-14 is the norm, unless a contender  for Ivys. [/quote]

I agree and I have kids at WJ. 12-14 is not the norm.[/quote]

+1. It’s not necessary to have 12-14 APs. That’s insane actually.[/quote]

It depends what you mean by ¨norm¨  The Apex (signature academic) program requires 9 AP classes as the minimum.    [Program changed for class of 24 and on for those who had kids in the old program][/quote]

This is helpful information as I have younger kids who might be interested in APEX. Are you saying that the old minimum was 9 or the "new" minimum is 9?

Also, as someone with older kids who already graduated, there's a big difference between 9 APs and 12-14 APs.[/quote]
