Hi all,
So we are having a heated discussion about whether AP Scholar with Distinction should take up one of the 5 honor slots in the Common App if you have other regional/state level honors. On the one hand, it is a national award that everyone recognizes and it summarizes quickly a level of academic achievement but on the other hand, the AP scores are listed on the application, so someone can read the scores directly .

Awards that would replace it would be Boy’s State or a state level writing award.

Thoughts?
