[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is extremely rigorous. They must be able to get As in these classes, plus 4 or 5 on AP exam. Don’t overdo it. I can’t stress that enough. DS did 11 APs with all As and one B in AP Bio. Wouldn’t let him take Calc BC (save some calc for college). Took AP Span. The B hurt his gpa a lot (relative to the top 10% of class - still an amazing gpa). You need time for extracurricular, friends and family time too and test prep for SAT. YOU NEED TO BE AWARE THAT YOUR DC STILL MAY NOT GET INTO TOP 20. Lots of kids just like this at UMD and other flagships. [/quote] And yet dozens of students at each of many different schools do 11+ APs and make all A’s. 11 or 12 is the “standard strong “ option. Top rigor is usually 14+. One B puts a kid well out of the top 15% and makes t20 very unlikely. All high schools are different. Admission teams know the differences. [/quote] This is of course a huge lie.[/quote]
