umm, randombetch, are you being sarcastic? Hard to tell when on the screen…

Anyway, after attending sessions with adcoms for a couple of the top schools on the east coast, I have heard almost every single one of them mentioned the importance of having a challenging high school curriculum, and for most hs’s, AP is what reflects that challenge. AP test scores, in turn reflect how well you have learned the material and compares you to other students in the nation. I believe that AP test does have its prestige, especially when Siemens has a special scholarship just to reward people who took AP tests in the Science and math area because those are believed to be what makes us even able to compare with the type of curriculum offered in highly academically competitive countries such as China and India.
