should we schedule these?

it graded?

“coachable”?   Is it culturally biased?

               
*              What are AP tests? Who should take these, and
when?

               
*              Don't grades count  any
more?

                *
             How does Early Decision affect
admissions?

               
*              What else are colleges looking
for?
