[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges care about AP courses in the 5 subjects:

math: AB or BC plus or minus Stats 
english:  Lang and/or Lit
history: US and World
foreign lang: Lang and/or Lit
science: Bio, Chem and Physics.

The rest don't matter. [/quote]

How do you know this?[/quote]

It's pretty common knowledge.  These are the 5 core subjects.  Some colleges go as far as to drop other classes from the GPA. [/quote]

It's common knowledge that AP World is basically required?  Cite please.
I guess my kid who has AP US Gov, AP Euro, and AP US is screwed then, since no one told him that he specifically needs world.   :roll:

Also, Bio, Chem, *AND* Physics?  Which kid anywhere has the schedule space for APs in all three sciences?[/quote]

I've never heard that only certain History AP's count, but it is well-documented that top schools prefer to see one of each science, with as many as possible at the AP level. A humanities student probably doesn't need all AP's. [/quote]
