[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Remember also the perverse situation that any nonAP will lower their GPA.[/b] DS had 2 free period but got all As in 5 AP courses - which apparently impressed the admissions committee at his top 40 first choice college.

This is exactly what DS told me. Non-AP will affect weighted GPA more so than a free period.

No DE offerings at his high school are at the appropriate level or in an area of interest. They are Intro to Life Sciences, Nurse Assistant Training etc. There's also MV Calc/Linear Algebra but that is the 1 math AP he's guaranteed to get next year.

As for transcript, the name of the class is "Early Bird PE" so I guess it will be listed as such? Maybe AOs have no time to look at granular detail though.

Hate this weighted vs non weighted class ranking GPA BS.

AUDIT the elective and take 1 study hall, if needed. 
Can you audit two classes per semester? Then do that and have fun. [/quote]

They should allow for five 5.0 weighted classes and then do 4.0 classes thereafter or pick which 5.0 class to do as 4.0. Too many perverse incentives to avoid taking non AP classes or languages or advanced but not AP classes.

Audit your 6th class instead [/quote]
