[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've had conversations with private college consultants, and they told us that elite colleges will still expect your kid to self-study for the AP exams. They view private schools as a marker of privilege and will not give them any allowances because of it. [/quote]

Why would anyone need to take an AP exam?  For example, if your kid gets college credits through dual enrollment, or IB, or another program.  AP is not required by anyone.[/quote]

You seem very new to this. There’s no college credit without the AP exam. IB can get credit, with the exam, but you have to be enrolled in an IB program to take it. Dual enrollment is a route for college credit, but it depends on what agreements the high school has with the (community) colleges.

AP is the only one that allows taking the class in private and getting college credit by exam.[/quote]

Not new to this at all.  My kid gets college credits through dual enrollment at a 4 year college, not a community college.  Taking AP exams would be a waste of our time.[/quote]

This is definitely not the norm and I seriously doubt it. Name the high school, the 4 year college and the classes. Most privates don’t have these arrangements in place.

Even so, it would be a huge hassle to commute to the college campus, for in person lectures, labs and exams.[/quote]

The dual enrollment classes are taken at the private high school.  Not naming the school because I prefer privacy.[/quote]
