[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many private school transcripts never printed the letters “AP”. So in those cases former HS Biology AP classes would print on the transcript as “Biology ADV” instead.  Surprise, many of those schools still print “Biology ADV” on the transcript for the course which no longer is labeled AP” in the internal course catalog.

Regardless, for the schools I am thinking about, they still offer on-site AP exams for their students and encourage students to sit the AP exams.  Colleges are happy to see students sit the exams, and are less hung up about the precise name of the course.

DCUM begs to differ of course, reality not withstanding.[/quote]

That’s 100% not true. Link to the course catalog from before where an AP class was labeled ADV.

I’ll give you that the classes may be rigorous, but that doesn’t mean they will be given the same weight as an AP class. In the UC system for example, those students are at a disadvantage.[/quote]

Potomac has said this explicitly, and several other private schools are playing the same game.  Mind, Potomac still offers nearly any AP *test* at Potomac during school hours (regardless of whether the class is labeled AP), unlike some DCUM reports about GDS. [/quote]
