fretfulmother:

ETA: it used to be that students applying to MIT from the school where I teach, were told that they could just take “two of the three” AP Bio/Chem/Physics. That is no longer the advice, per the guidance department, to be competitive.

And has the advice worked? Are students getting in at the rate which is predicted?

Seems like shallow advice. The folks who wrote “Applying Sideways” are now suddenly counting up AP’s like they’re chips at a casino?
