[quote=Anonymous]Oh for goodness sakes! Do I really have to do this?  I guess so.  The issue at hand is the bona fides of all the good people who have posted their opinions on AP Calc AB/BC. The question is: should we only listen to those who identify themselves as Admissions Officers? Or do those of us with college-age kids, at Top 25! or Top Ivy! or Top Whatever! schools also have valuable experience to share?

For the record, here's the ur-post that got the ball rolling. This poster says she only wants to listen to admissions people and high school counselors, and that everybody else posting on a thread about AP Calc AB/BC is just a "pretender" offering "speculation."

[quote=Anonymous]I'm seeing some interesting opinions that I would assume admissions people would make the final decisions.  Is there actually anyone posting who is indeed an admissions person for a college/university?  Or at the least a college counselor in a high school?  No pretenders.

Otherwise, it's just speculation.[/quote]

Then another PP comes on and gives her bona fides as having a kid in a "top ivy." Which prompts this gem from the first skeptic, or maybe her twin:
	
[quote=Anonymous]Anyone who uses the term "top ivy" has no experience with this kind of school and is BSing you. It doesn't even make any sense. What is a "bottom ivy"? Cornell or UPenn? Dartmouth? [/quote]

And it goes downhill from there....  Yes, I have too much time on my hands. But this forum sure changed for the worse when that handful of aggressive posters migrated here from the Political forum.[/quote]
