There's a whole section about APs in this blog. 
[QUOTE]Plenty of people want to know how many AP courses a student should take to be competitive in our process. We don't approach applications this way. First of all, [b]not everyone goes to a school with APs as an option.[/b] [/QUOTE]

They also know when you're avoiding the perfectly excellent public schools that do have AP options and instead you're choosing a school that doesn't have it. They would also expect that if the coursework is more vigorous than public school AP classes, then the student should have no problem taking the AP exam to prove their knowledge.  Paying $$$$ for private school shows you're not so poor that the exam is unaffordable.

We didn't avoid public school, we chose private HS after public elementary & middle schools.  The private school we chose had AP classes up until this year, when they basically just renamed them to "Advanced".  The kids are still going to take the AP exams in May.  My kid is heading to one of the HYP schools in the fall unhooked, so the school obviously didn't have any issues with the lack of "AP" classes on the transcript.[/quote]

No hooks besides full pay and private school. [/quote]

Bitter much?  You might want to read up on what need-blind means.  And if private school was such a hook then why don't you do it?[/quote]

Wow, sensitive. Hit a nerve. Looks like the next generation of douche is on track. [/quote]
