<p>Entomom, wanted to bring you update on my son’s academic progress as he just got his AP scores. I also wanted to get your opinion on where he should apply. As you can see there are some serious weaknesses in his record, such as the 4 Bs this semester and a low class rank. On the other hand, notice that except in AP Chemistry (on which he scored 4 in the AP test), everything else on which he got a B, he scored 5 or 750 on the AP test/ SAT subject test. So, I don’t know if this will convince any colleges that his school tends to deflate grades.</p>
