[quote=Transplant_1][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure what point OP is making about AP vs. non-AP classes. AP classes still have grades that are separate from AP scores. "Pressure-cooker" schools are just a function of lots of affluent kids in one place pursuing the same rigorous classes and extracurriculars. Whitman is the most affluent HS in MCPS. [/quote] What I meant was ..... I would think that your grade in an AP class wouldn't matter "as much" - since what would count more is your score on the AP exam. But, for non-AP classes, your grade would matter more since there is no "outside" exam to show how you did. But, now that I think about it, your grade in your AP class still contributes to your GPA, and colleges still look at overall GPA. So yes, now that I'm thinking it through better, I see that the "pressure" environment would be both for AP and non-AP classes.[/quote]
