I too disagree with RockerGuy. The average number of APs for Stanford matriculants is FIVE.

There is nothing wrong with taking 8-10, but it ain’t necessary, as long as the rest of the application is strong. Our HS also limits APs to Junior & Senior year, and the maximium number of AP’s possible Jr year is three, assuming doubling in math or science.



With the whole “every class is advanced”, I guess they can get a feel for your high school through the School Report.



Yup, each HS is different. Our honors Eng Junior year (AP not allowed) is capped at ~12% A’s. Plenty of kids who have never seen a B in their life are rudely awakened…
