[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your post seems strange because you don't name the Western State (there is a western undergraduate exchange) or name how competitive the high school is. It really depends how many other students at the high school also have very high stats.

Why your post is puzzling to people with students in college is that AP classes don't make sense. Since your child is in 11th grade he or she hasn't yet taken 11th grade AP's yet.

So your child in 9th or 10th grade took AP Calculus? Well that maybe could be true?

AP Lit - that is really unusual as most student first take AP Lang in 11th then AP Lit in 12th.

AP Chem in 10th? Maybe but most students are required to take Honors Chem and a bio class first so don't get to AP chem until 11th. [/quote]

Sorry.  Trying not to give too much identifying info.  The high school is small but very well regarded and is a magnet program.  Around 20-25% of the kids end up with NMSF, and over half have 10+ APs when they graduate.  My kid is top 5% by GPA.  Unfortunately, the guidance counselor is new.

Yep.  5 APs were already taken in 9th-10th, with an average score of 4.8.  Kid this year is taking another AP in each core subject, and then a post-AP in each core subject in 12th.

Kid has other long term hobbies that weren't included in the OP.  I wasn't sure if any schools were interested in a kid who has a lot of very eclectic interests and is obviously not parent manufactured vs. a kid who has a cohesive story with a very carefully cultivated package.  [/quote]
