[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AP scores have no weight in college admissions... unfortunately![/quote]

Why take them if not for the college credit? If you are about to head off to college and you can't earn a 4 or 5, what does that tell you? It says you are not college ready. But in today's world, students go anyway because there aren't other options for them. Then they drop off with tons of debt and no way to repay it.[/quote]

So that the PP, who is calling other ppl's kids mediocre, can brag about those 12+ AP his/her DC is taking.

Yes there are truly kids out there who can carry that load for the love of the subjects and don't care about the college credit.  But for most kids, these APs are just overkill.  Many kids with <=5 APs go to school with those with 12+ APs and do just fine.

Do what is right for your kid and don't get suck into this if you aren't carrying 12+ APs, you are not worthy game.  Search DCUM on how some magnet school kids are doing this admission cycle, you will find many posts on burnt-out teens.[/b][/quote]

Where are you hearing about burnt-out teens? I'm not. [/quote]
