Are you seriously thinking taking a couple of classes of non-AP/ honor classes change your child’s ranking by 20 , 30 places ?</p>
<p>My D who will be a freshman in college this coming year took 1 choir and 3 soccer classes instead of a total of 2 required classes.</p>
<p>The classes were all easy 100s but still lowered her GPA.
It changed from 5.57 to 5.55 I believe and it lowered her ranking by maybe 2 places . She ended up in 4th place instead of being Salutatorian , may be.</p>
