[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't care, but my kid's high school offers them and colleges expect them. [b]Most colleges don't give you any credit for them, with a few exceptions. [/b]The only time one of my kids received college credit was when he/she did HISCIP and took two classes at Georgetown senior year. Both classes (6 credits) were transferable. [/quote] This is false. Most colleges do give credit. The very top tier do not. [/quote] +1 And although the private school educated on this forum may look down their nose at APs, because they had bold faced names write their recommendations to college and didn't need to bother with something as mundane as test scores, the fact remains that for public school kids who don't have advantages of being the child of a major donor or legacy, APs are a good way to show that you can compete with the top tier of students.[/quote]
