[quote=Anonymous]It moves the needle less now because there are more APs that are easier now:
Common public school top5% kids have:
APHuG(9)
APPsych(10)
APusgov(10)-semester
APcompargov(10)-semester
APCalcAB(11)
APEng(11)
APspan(11)(spanish finishes early in that hs)
APush(11)
Apbio(11)
(Some would have done 2 sci in 11 so would also have apphys1 or APChem) This is a real schedule. There are 20 or more kids out of 350 who have similar every yr and most go to uva but not many get into T10s

Whereas privates dont offer the early and easy APs so only 1-2 kids every yr would get to an impressive list. Had to have doubled up science and is ahead of top math track could get to 8(real schedule):

ApStat(9) (coreq with honPrecal, very rare to qualify in 9th)
APChem(10)
APphys1(10)
AP calcAB(10)
APEngLit(11)
APUSH(11)
APphysC(11)
APBCcalc(11)

THIS wall of straight 5s by the end of 11th is rare and still moves the needle. The couple each year who do it and have all As usually get into a top10 or ivy (school pushes ED for all)and some even get in to multiple top-10/ivies in RD .
