[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AP courses don't impress me -- even burnout losers are enrolled in APs these days. Tell me your kid is banging out 4s and especially 5s on the actual exams -- that's impressive.[/quote]

My Senior had only taken five AP exams by the end of Junior year, but had earned only 5s on all of the exams which included AP Calculus BC, AP Chemistry, AP English Language, AP Spanish, and AP US History.  They took an additional three designated AP courses in Senior year, all in the Sciences, with the same results.[/quote]

I personally think it is not important how many AP courses or exams a student takes, beyond some certain threshold (let's say five or six APs).  What I think is more important is that the student score well on those AP Exams they do take (preferably 5s), and that those courses reflect either a strength in one area like the Humanities or the Sciences, or else (as in the example above) general overall strength in a number of areas.
