<p>Hi</p>

<p>I’m an international applicant who finished High School in 2007 and am now in my gap year. I plan to self-study and write the AP exams in May 2009; should I mention this in my Common Application?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance. :)</p>

2

<p>Yes, you should.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Thanks! :)</p>

<p>But where should I mention it?</p>

4

<p>WRITE the AP exams?</p>

<p>As in TAKE the exam or WRITE one for people to take?!</p>

5

<p>write = take in this case lol.</p>

<p>not everyone in the world uses the same words you know. some will say GIVE the exam, some will say TAKE the exam and others will say WRITE the exam. no diff.</p>

<p>Uh, I guessed. But still. I have never heard that expression before.</p>

<p>Whatever.</p>

<p>You can’t put that on your Common App. Don’t bother unless you’re in it for the credits.</p>

7

<p>don’t listen to hurt, you should definitely tell colleges that you are committed and dedicated enough to self study a subject at a college level…to not do so would be stupid.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Thanks, but where do I mention this? In the ‘Additional Information’ section?</p>

9

<p>There’s a box for AP scores!
The problem is, though, that colleges won’t know your scores when they’re reviewing your app… They can’t know for sure whether your actually studying or not…</p>

10

<p>^That’s true. But the same thing holds for the list of awards, statements in the essays etc.</p>

11

<p>I have another question: I’m an international who finished High School 1.5 years ago and I no longer have a record of the laboratory work for Physics and Chemistry. What must I do?</p>

<p>anyone? (bump)</p>
