[quote=Anonymous][quote]"No top tier college accepts AP credit although state schools may because their intro classes are so often remedial rather than truly introductory."

[b]Really, this is news to me unless things have changed. I went to Princeton and I tested out of freshman English with AP. Calculus (math requirement) too.

I have no problems with BASIS's focus on math and science since DC has no magnet test-in STEM program. Looks like they do a good job with the parameters they're give, taking all comers with no testing for admissions.

Thanks for the insightful discussion all and we'll consider BASIS for DC when the time comes. [/quote]

Not to derail this thread, but things have indeed changed. Many colleges no longer take AP for credit, although it still looks good on an application. Also, increasingly, more and more colleges and universities are rethinking the SAT requirement. I know this because I work in higher ed.

BASIS people can now have their thread back.[/quote]
