I understand “academic rigor” BUT why would a student take 10, 15, 20 AP classes when most colleges only accept 2-5 AP classes for credit? And only if the student gets a 4 or 5 on the test? It seems like a lot of stress, a lot of time and money for very little return. 20 AP tests cost $6, 000 —- it seems like after 5 APs the best a student can hope for is the AP class counting toward a general Ed requirement or actually placing them in an advance section of the course. And being in the advance section as a first year when you’re already dealing with the new environment, etc. I but not always be a good idea

What can students do about Yeild Protection? What is the best form of demonstrated interest?

Ethan Help! I already have a draft on how english wasn't my first language and i overcame that and now I teach ukrainians how to speak english online amid war. BUT i don't like this essay for lots of reasons. I'm glad you said to write about something I love because I've always wanted to write about my deep deep love and passion for the show survivor. I know a lot about it and I even made a club based on the show. But I don't know if this is appropriate since officers wouldn't believe that simply watching this show changed me? Should I write about survivor and what angle should I take?
