<p>It is a funny system…Colleges will look at the level of class rigor a student chooses. However, ‘rigor’ is based on WHAT THE HS OFFERS. In other words, if an elite prep offers 15+ AP’s but a student chooses to take ‘only’ 3 this is seen as a negative. If on the other hand, a HS offers only 3 AP’s and a student takes 3 this is then the most rigorous course load available and seen as a positive by adcoms.</p>
<p>My sons’ private is currently debating offering fewer AP’s for this very reason.</p>
