[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Better to stay in the AP course and accept a lower grade, or notify the college admissions about the dropout.

Colleges consider student's character and personal qualities integral aspects of a student's profile. Even if a student is not seeking equivalent college credits, the application was submitted with those rigorous AP courses as enrolled in senior year,  an artifact that would be considered for admission decision. Notifying colleges about courses from which the student has withdrawn and should not be considered part of the applicant's admissions demonstrates the student's commitment to honesty and a proactive approach in addressing potential misrepresentation. Colleges are likely to appreciate the student's candor and responsibility in such situations.[/quote]

This is silly. Colleges aren't paying attention to this. [/quote]

You need a break from all that hard work!

Shut that brain down, spend senior year getting high and getting laid.

Colleges don’t really care about “optics” and “ethics” and “following through on commitments”.

Once the offer letter is in it’s locked forever and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.[/quote]

Have you ever had a kid get into college?  The offer is not locked in forever, and can be contingent on a variety of things. You must inform the schools to which you’ve applied or been accepted if you make a course change.  It’s better to just stay the course, unless it would threaten the kid’s ability to graduate.
