[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is cute. 
- At high-powered suburban public schools, the two-APs aspect means that it will feel like “everyone” gets this award.
- At rural and majority-URM schools, where APs are much rarer, it functions as a race-neutral way to help colleges identify students who stand out in their high school context.
- [b]It will also help colleges identify the top 10% of students at all those snooty private schools that dropped AP courses and refuse to rank.[/b][/quote]

Actually, my daughter got the letter but only took her first AP courses this year at her private, which doesn't offer AP until 11th. So her qualification is getting a PSAT score at the top 10%, which only amounts to about 10 people. She will stand out among her peers because the only way to get the award is through the PSAT as no APs were taken in 9th or 10th grade.[/quote]

DP, but I’m not sure that’s an “actually” as if you are refuting PP’s point. That was PP’s point. [/quote]
