Completely untrue. If you really want GPA boosters, overload on Spanish I or something. In fact, although AP does not give you credit in the Ivies, they allow you to skip certain classes. My brother attends Columbia University, and he got a 4 on the AP Chemistry exam in high school, and was not allowed to skip the intro course in college. And that’s the one class that’s killing him right now (he blames the professor; ironically, he blamed the AP Chem teacher for his lack of a perfect AP score back in high school). And he’s an Engineering major.

<p>By refuting my argument that the basic classes are GPA boosters, you left another one open to attack. What good did it do him by taking the AP exam?</p>
