[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so, do the admissions officers at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc., consider a candidate's elementary school grades? Do they care if the candidate was in AAP?  There is absolutely no correlation between admission to elementary AAP and admission to top colleges.  AAPparents (assholes advocating for their pussies) need to grasp reality.[/quote]

actually, I am aware that some of the better boarding schools in the northeast and mid-atlantic that accept some public school kids know FCPS in general and the AAP program in particular and if you have Geometry ! from AAP it is seen as indicative the student can handle the work. And these schools do in fact feed the Ivies, Stanford, MIT.[/quote]

How many students from FCPS matriculate to those schools every year?  How many are AAP in one grade?  You don't have to be in AAP to take the higher level math classes.[/quote]

but open enrollment "honors" isn't exactly AAP now is it?  I think the admissions people at the better privates know this.[/quote]

Yes, I'm sure the admissions committes at Andover and Lawrenceville are[b] scouring[/b] FCPS for their AAP "talent".  You sure have a rich fantasy life. [/quote]

never said scouring, you just made that up. [b]Will say they are aware of AAP's reputation. Gen ed. is just the hoi polloi. Some will do fine of course, but it the academic experience for them is not as rigorous. Most of the better schools are aware of this.[/quote][/b]

And the winner of the snobbiest post of the day goes to PP.....wouldn't underestimate the hoi polloi -- chances are that's where a lot of your kids future bosses will come from.  [/quote]
