+2 This is their mantra. How are you surprised, OP? Reach the AP level in all 5 core subjects. The real question is whether they care if you take AB Calc vs. BC Calc or APES vs. AP Biology. Do they “rank” the APs by rigor?[/quote]

I've heard that if you are STEM, that you should be in at least one of AP Chem, AP Bio or AP Physics.  
If you are not STEM, I don't know...but I would think you should be in one of them too.

Georgia Tech admissions said you should be in BC if that's the most rigorous.

My kid is taking AP Bio and AP Physics (took AP Chem last year), and took 4 years of Spanish, but could not do 5th.  We'll see if the extra science plus 4 years of Spanish helps.   [/quote]

At our HS the ones who get in unhooked to engineering at stanford/ivies have AP chem, APphysics C and Multivariable cal. Most also have AP BIO but it is not essential as the other 3. At the school across town, they can get in with BC calc and AP physC or Chem, plus AP bio, both is not needed. But both is also almost impossible there. [/quote]

How on earth would you know what "the school across town" requires?  Or what classes anyone (other than your own kid) takes?  These posts are utterly absurd.
