<p>Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. I didn’t know where else to post this. </p>
<p>It’s amazing how this student took 16 AP classes and 15 AP tests averaging a 4.5. That’s insane. What I’m confused about is how can you get a gpa above a 5.0. </p>
<p>Do any of you know someone who is similar to this kid?</p>
<p>You can get a GPA above 5.0 if your school weights honors and AP classes.</p>
<p>Wow. My school only offers 7 APs to begin with, and no one takes all of them. I can’t imagine how much pressure there must be at this kid’s school.</p>
<p>Ha ha! he’s from Pinecrest High and I assume it’s the Pinecrest HIgh of Southern Pines…just half an hour from me…and I have never heard of him at all! o_O! </p>
<p>In my school an AP course gets weight of 6, I’m sure it’s the same for Pinecrest High…</p>
<p>Seriously, I took, like, 10 AP classes with an average score of 4.4, got a 2290 on my SAT (1580 if only math + verbal), and had a very high GPA as well, and there are plenty of kids here who did even better than me in all these areas…which just shows you how crazy this website can be!</p>
<p>Oh yeah! this website has been surfed (and will DEFINITELY be) by ‘typical, regular’ HS students! I wonder, why didn’t he go to Harvard?! At least, he should’ve tried that place out!</p>
<p>Not to bring down the thread or the subject of the post, but this stuff always irritates me since students here don’t have those opportunities. Having no AP classes really isn’t an advantage, no matter how you say it helps in admissions. Even taking classes early is really frowned upon by school officials.</p>
<p>Someone recruit this kid to be an advocate for all public high schools to have AP classes.</p>
<p>I don’t like how so many teachers discourage kids from even attempting to take classes early by skipping a class like, for example, precalc. Why don’t they just let those who want to study it over the summer, and if they don’t pass the placement exam, they’ll have learned something anyway?</p>
