[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My nephew didn’t take AP Bio or AP Chem at TJ. Didn’t take the AP exams for either of those subjects - they only took the exams for the AP classes enrolled in. Accepted to all HYPSM. [/quote]

And then there's the random poster about a rainbow unicorn case of a presumably unhooked kid with zero science APs who gets accepted to [b]ALL[/b] HYPSM ...  :lol:  and we're left to imagine that the nephew is likely in his 50s today![/quote]

It's the same at Stuy in NYC. Unhooked "high stats" kids are a dime a dozen. Colleges pick based unhooked students random or arbitrary factors (quirky sport/instrument) or "wow!" life stories. At the academic level of HYPSM, AP just isn't *interesting* or impressive. They know that clever kids can fake ther through the easy multiple choice heavily curved exams [/quote]

Ok then maybe sift through the tons of data that is widely available for the average number of AP science courses that most admits to HYPSM schools have ... it's not hard to find.  Hint: CDS.  Good luck!!  [/quote]
