<p>How much do you think AP scores influence college decisions to top schools (Ivy League, HYPSM, Top 20, etc.)???</p>
<p>and the impact of scholar awards like National AP Scholar, Scholar with Distinction, AP Scholar…</p>
<p>supposedly colleges don’t look at your ap scores until you’re admitted…
that’s what seniors in my school told me- they are going to MIT, Duke, Dartmouth, etc. so I think they’re a reliable source</p>
<p>well most college apps have slots for AP scores (and IB scores)…but im wondering if those will help u get into the school</p>
<p>like if ur applying to an engineering school and u have straight 5s on AP science and maths…but a not so good SAT…will that help ur case?</p>
<p>Very little, if any. On most apps including the common app, AP scores are self reported. If you are applying to engineering school they would care more about your SAT IIs in math and science more than you APs (assuming a top school that requires SAT IIs).</p>
