the hard classes will have trouble getting into school in this tough environment. We assumed that the advanced classes would come across the same to colleges. They are very hard. I am not sure how you overcome missing the extra points given to AP classes. [/quote]

You don’t. The seems pretty bad OP.[/quote]

College admissions officers know which classes at any given school are the most rigorous, and any "extra points" are given for those courses. At some schools those are "AP" at others, they have different designations. This information is outlined very clearly in the school profile shared with admissions offices. [/quote]

How would the admissions officers at UC Berkeley would know the calculus at X high school is ‘rigorous’? It’s almost funny that you think a school profile brochure trumps an independent audit and the exam rigor, security, difficulty and relevance that an AP exam has.[/quote]
