[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to realize that your kid looks like a million other kids from the outside. A gazillion kids are taking 5 APs, etc. They. All. Look. The. Same. So what makes your kid different from the rest? What makes him tick as a human being? What's his thing? Who is he? And you can't mention any numbers, or stats.[/quote] [b]But does 4 APs vs. 5 APs make a difference[/b]? If they only take 4, are they not even invited to the table? Or, do they still look the same, but one of them just had more stress senior year?[/quote] What kind of school are you aiming for? The top want to see that the student has exhausted the curriculum offered by their high school, often referred to as "most rigorous". Look here and on college confidential and you will see scores of kids with 12 APs not getting into UVA, etc., It is what it is. So, yeah, 4 versus 5 does make a different. More is even better.[/quote]
