We’re definitely not looking at top 20 or even top 50! But in looking at merit for both in and oos publics to find schools that could work, weighted grading is often a factor which sort of got me thinking about APs. (A separate issue is our school’s weighting weights honors AND APs equally…which Im not sure colleges do AND our school has a max 4.0 uw/4.5 weighted per class…I know that other schools use a 5.0 scale). The whole thing is very confusing for a strong student at a normal school but not not top student at top school. Thats why I love hearing everyone’s thoughts:)
