[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This does affect admissions to UK schools and it affects freshman standing at many US universities - especially large state universities. For example, at UC schools AP credits will affect your number of credits, which will affect your status for registration. [/quote]

GDS parent here. I’m no longer shocked at the bad decisions this administration makes. Two posts back, someone clearly shows that many top schools do actually factor AP scores despite the dogma here and at GDS college office that they don’t.

I know for a fact that BC does. As in direct from the head of admissions. And they aren’t alone.

So what exactly is GDS saying here?  Come to GDS if you want to go to a SLAC and only a SLAC?

This will also create 100-200 GD parents across 10th-12th grade calling random schools to see if they will let our kids sit for these tests. 
My kid wants to keep UK option open. So they want to take a couple AP tests after 10th grade. Now what, GDS sent me a college board link that shows all schools in DC that offer the test. No further guidance. Just call around.

Such utter BS. [/quote]

Write an email to the school and CC all the board members.  Better yet, have all your friends who feel similarly do it too.  This doesn't need to be a permanent change... they can walk it back with enough voices of dissent.  If I were you, I'd organize and get this taken care of now.[/quote]

Agreed, from another GDS parent.[/quote]
