[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]A student from a high achieving HS with 20 APs who takes 3 would get a lower score than a student from a rural school that only offered 6 APs.[/quote]
Obviously. But, more commonly, [b]what about the student who takes 8 or 10 APs at a school that offers 20[/b]? That should be enough, but how does that play out when the applicant from the nearby rural county took 3 of 6 offered?[/quote]

This should be in the school profile attached to the, transcript …that most students take at least X number of the Y APs offered.

our profile notes that students are not allowed to take AP classes as freshman; sophomores are only allowed to take 1; juniors are advised to only take 2, and seniors are advised to only take 3. So for my school, 6 or 7 out of the 20+ offered is considered competitive . It is Great if a student took more, but that likely wouldn’t be considered any more favorable. It’s likely that the student that took 6 has other things in their academic file - honors classes, art, foreign language, band, yoga, etc.

Progression is key, and that the student challenged themselves. And most importantly, received A’s in the end.
