[quote=Anonymous]My DD and I attended a Stanford info session not long ago, and the presenter (who is the admission rep for MD and DE) talked about the role of APs in the admissions process. She started by asking if anyone was from Thomas Jefferson HS in NOVA, then asked if they knew how many APs their school offered. She said the total was 27 or 28, and then she said they absolutely, emphatically did not want to see kids killing themselves to take anywhere near that number. She noted that you can't really have much of the sort of an outside life that interests admissions directors if all you do is take APs. But she also said that they do care about rigor, and they like to see kids challenging themselves and exploring at least some of the of high-level classes offered at their school. She didn't offer anything more definitive, but I was at least happy to hear they don't look with favor on the kids who try to rack up the highest number of APs. [/quote]
