[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid won’t be a T20 admit but other students from our school are. School limits to a max of 6 APs: max 1 AP in 10th, 2 in 11th, 3 in 12th. Very occasionally kids get a waiver for one more AP, but it’s usually to add something like AP Studio Art as a 4th in senior year, not an additional core.

As others have noted, it’s very school dependent. Colleges compare transcript rigor against other kids from the same school. [/quote]

Our school is similar, but slightly higher max - 2 for 10th, 3 for 11th, and 4 for 12th. Some of the students/parents at the top of the class complain about the limits because they think it’s hurts their odds, but I think it’s great. It limits the pressures on kids and the school still does decently with admissions.

Our zoned public has an awful method - basically every decently smart kid takes entirely AP classes Junior & Senior years. But the averages are awful, like my daughter knows someone who took the Calc AB AP test, earned a 2, and is taking Calc BC now as a senior. I think it’s a way just to track kids who care about school.[/quote]
