once a kid gets past a certain point, US colleges do not like to see the student take off a year (or more) from math.

But gap years between school and uni are blessed?

Bizarre and somewhat absurd if that is OK but doing using the time to explore interests in more sciences instead of just doing Maths for the sake if it is frowned upon.

Personally, I do not consider any AP courses a substitute for college level classes at any college worthy of being called a tertiary level institution.I do not see AP classes as a route to duck out of or save money on any college classes, myself. I just want my daughter to have a chance to do more sciences while still at High School if she is so inclined when the time comes.
