[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APs are a good way to get into state schools, and a terrible way to get into a good private university. Which is why SSSAS sends a lot of kids to state schools.

I wish I’d understood before we started our kids at the lower school that the role of APs has changed since I was in high school (in the 90s). The AP board tightly regulates everything and it truly is focused on memorization and not on deep thinking. It’s great for state schools who need a standardized way to evaluate applicants, but private universities understand the limits of AP classes. [/quote]

Appreciate the honesty and insight [/quote]

What honesty and insight? The PP has no idea what they’re talking about. You can still get AP credit and higher placement at the vast majority of top private universities. You can count the universities that have opted out of accepting APs on one hand, maybe two.[/quote]

As the previous poster just said this is a different question. On the issue of whether top colleges and universities consider AP courses something of value in admissions the answer is obvious. Just accept that you’re wrong and move on. [/quote]

Lol. Zero ability to counter the point made. So weak.[/quote]
