Generally I agree

It's why the idea of AP coursework is misleading IMO, it really doesn't adequately prepare you for college curriculum at all. The hardest AP test I ever took was still easier than any science or engineering exam I took in college.

I went to one of the crazy competitive schools supa is talking about in Katy. I thought it preped me well for college. Well at least how to properly study and prepare.

Had a 4.3. Not too 10% but in the top quarter. I think I got like a 1250-1280 SAT when it was out of 1600. I guess I studied a decent amount but played sports year round as well. I worry what my kids HS experience will be like.

Got into A&M. Not UT. Went to LSU (family history and scholarships) and breezed through my business undergrad in three years. My masters at A&M was also easier than high school. Probably because I generally hated my AP science classes and didn’t have to deal with those in college.

I also bet is supa’s daughter went to mayde creek or Morton she’d probably be choosing between A&M and UT right now.
