[quote=Anonymous]Have had two go through local independent schools. One went to what I'd say is an average rigor school (akin to a non-magnet public in a wealthy suburb). Kids took 5 to 6 APs at most. Classes were more lecture based. Kid did fine. Second went to a high rigor school. No humanities APs offered but top track kids took at least 5 or 6 APs. All classes throughout were taught like college seminars. Kid also did fine. In each case, AOs judged the applicant's rigor against their peers. Not against other schools. First kid's schedule would have been considered lower rigor if taken at second kid's school (but, to be fair, first kid's schedule would have been more like second kid's if they went tot he same school). Second kid's schedule would have been the highest rigor (if it were attainable, which I don't think would have been the case, especially with regard to math. [/quote]
