[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for pointing out that it's been discussed at length elsewhere. Can't somebody save a poor ignoramus some time and research and maybe give a back of the envelope sketch of the issues with heavy AP emphasis?[/quote] At a top tier college, the only AP classes that resemble actual college courses are the foreign languages, calculus BC and physics C. (I don't know about the comp sci classes) AP Bio and Chem don't cover first semester college courses in full. The content of the other AP classes - English language, English literature, US history, US government, comparative government, world history, statistics, calculus AB, environmental science, human geography - are too shallow to pass faculty/provost standards. All of it is necessary but just not sufficient and I would prefer DC to develop stronger habits of mind and secure foundations and learn college-level material from actual top tier college faculty.[/quote]
