I think this site skews toward anxiety. We had a far easier time with college admissions than I anticipated. I read this site regularly and was afraid he would have few good options and no merit. Instead, he got great offers from 7 of his 8 colleges.
Same here. DC took no APs until junior year. Four junior year, five senior year. Accepted into 11/13 universities - five of which were T20, many of which offered substantial merit.
