[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a really small number of students who have

1) Perfect Scores AND
2) In the top 1% of their class AND
3) National AP Scholar

These kids really should be and would be in their top choice college, if these universities cared about academics. [/quote]

18% of the 1.8 million AP students are NAPS.

You are dealing in huge numbers of kids for a few thousand spots. Deal with it. [/quote]

Agreed. It is like these people do not know at top schools it is shameful to get below a 4 and most kids get 5s on APs.  Its common at top day/boarding schools.  So are high scores.  who takes subject tests that they cant get 800 in when applying ivy??? you take a bunch and only submit the 800s.  You also see whether you score higher on the ACT or SAT and submit the highest scores.  Plus for top schools unknown high schools do not get kids in without a story (first gen, sport, special talent). As from unknow public or private schools are not considered.  its not a freak accident that most kids at top college come from the same groups of high schools year in and year out.  All as are not equal.[/quote]
