[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a video of the dean saying that they make their own decision about whether a curriculum is strong enough. Why would they let counselors have that kind of power?[/quote]

Dean J is above all else a marketing person. Her job is to get your kid to apply so they can reject them. It’s been pointed out over and over that you can drive trucks through her statements. Come on, they received 51,000 applications last year. They are a public admissions office without the resources of a C private. Do you really think they are going to sit there and recalculate Larlo’s most selective classes.  They don’t even want you to know there us a Mist Selectivd box and most public high school counselors will sidestep the question when asked. But it’s critical for you to know.[/quote]
The video said that some counselors check "most demanding" once you have a certain number of APs, but they want to see APs across different disciplines. So two students could have the same number of APs and both get the most demanding check, but one might have all the APs in 1-2 subjects while the other spreads them out across all subjects. They'd take the one who has APs in all subjects over the one who focused on 1-2 subjects, even though they both had the check.[/quote]
