Most kids in America graduate with 1-2 APs. What you see on here and Reddit’s chance me or A2C are not the norm. If you are worried about rigor then consider dual enrollment at your local junior college or taking a few classes at a college if your son’s HS will allow and or has arrangements. Summer is a good time to do so. A motivated student can easily knock off 4 classes over two 5 week terms at a community college. However, it is once again not the norm.
I’d say that >80% of colleges do not give a hoot about APs. Why should they? APs make them miss out on tuition $$. The key is to pick schools that are in his range of SAT/ACT/GPA/Price and any other consideration and apply to 6-8 of them.
