Schools that take AP credit vs Schools that don't?

They both have valid points. I would be hesitant to take AP credit if I had to take the next course and it was my major. That’s not an absolute but worth considering. For the other kid, the schools that don’t take AP’s are going to be at the top so they are likely better but not because they don’t take APs.

For the record, I have a mixed view of APs. It’s teaching to the AP test which may be fine in something systematic like calculus but not as beneficial in U.S. History where a teacher doesn’t have time to push kids to think through themes. Of course the knowledge and skills of the teacher matter.
