How will we know...

If Columbia gets our AP scores? I want to know before I arrive on campus on the fall... and I forget if I penned the school in for a report in May...

It's safest to bring a copy of your AP score reports, make an appointment with your advising dean, and tell him/her which scores you'd like to get credit for. I remember making an appointment with my advising dean at the beginning of freshman year to give him my score reports. I didn't know that we had a choice in applying scores, so I just assumed he'd put them into the system for me or something. It didn't occur to me to be more proactive about it till a year later when the pre-professional office told me to actually get the AP credits into the system (they will show up in SSOL under transfer credits). This was a year later, btw. Of course, when I met with my (incompetent) advisor again, he said he didn't have my AP scores.

I don't think I ever sent in my AP score reports, but I think it's best to have them in hand and ask your advisor to immediately apply the credits.

The FYSAAC office (or whatever its called now) is horrendous when it comes to AP scores. I was starting my 2nd semester jr year by the time they showed up on my transcript...after asking since the 2nd week of freshman year.

You really have to hound them for it to actually get done and the sooner you do it the better. Walking in with a copy of your official AP report is the best thing to do, as was said.
