[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Call me crazy, but personally, I think schools see kids with 15 APs (all 5s) and think "she'll graduate early so that's a year less of tuition."  It's a business. [/quote]

Hmm, this does make quite a bit of sense. I actually thought that all her APs would give her a boost, especially with her scores.[/quote]

I can attest to that. Last year, one girl from our school got into Princeton who took AP Physics in 12th grade, and two boys were rejected who completed AP Physics C in 9th and 10th grade with 5s in both. The boys were more cracked in other subjects, too. So, what you're saying about having strong APs as a disadvantage is making sense.[/quote]

“You’ve got to guess how many APs are enough to make you look strong but you can’t have too many” is a whole new level of stupid.[/quote]
At some point you've proven that you're smart and know how to do well on an AP test.[/quote]

But there is no way to know where that point is, and it probably varies from college to college. Therefore with this as with so many other aspects of the process, the student (a teenager!) is left guessing what the admissions committee wants. The whole thing is preposterous.[/quote]
