July 25, 200422 yr my brother's genius....he took 5 AP classes last year (junior year)...I think he's taking 5 more....not like it matters for West Point/Annapolis anyway....they dont accept AP credit....he's 2nd in his class right now (he goes to a private school...same school I went to)...somethin like a 4.4 gpa i think
