[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For what it’s worth, my DS took a lot of DE classes his senior year at FCPS. Some classes were in person at a FCPS HS, taught by a HS teacher. Think multivariable and linear algebra. I believe credit was through GMU. He also took  online DE classes through Nova I believe for English and Govt. He was just tired of the slog of AP classes. It was a bit of a struggle in our home and we were worried how it would look to colleges. He said if he didn’t do DE he was doing Honors classes then instead. This was a kid with straight As all 3 previous years.

DS was admitted to top universities and programs, including Ivy. In the end, it probably didn’t make much difference between AP vs DE at least for him.

English is the only one I think would get a ding.  But if you have a kid who is taking Multivariable and Linear Algebra and getting As in HS, I think they have other unusual and varied strengths.[/quote]

NP: notice it’s her thoughts. Feel free to ignore. Zero evidence of this. At college sessions, AO’s mention DE classes all the time when reeling off what constitutes rigor. [/quote]
