[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard REA admit, private with good history at Harvard, 4 AP, SAT 1600. No legacy, donor, athletic recruit, URM. School is kind of anti AP, so even preparing for the ones he took was not trivial while doing everything else he was doing. [/quote] If the school has an already rigorous curriculum, how could it possibly be anything other than trivial to prepare for the equivalent AP exam?[/quote] There were broad chunks of content that were not covered in the spirit of going deeper on certain topics. For example, the us history teacher he had spent two days on the battle of midway, including fairly detailed analyses of naval tactics. But with that depth comes a coverage cost and that is what DS had to make sure he recovered on his own. I’m not arguing “depth” is inherently better than “coverage” but it was cool seeing him get excited at dinner about whatever might be happening in class. [/quote]
