Where do you put your AP scores on the common application?
<p>most of the time, the supplement form (for a particular school) will ask for yor AP scores</p>
<p>What if there’s no supplement form?</p>
<p>All my interviewers asked for them.</p>
<p>AP scores do not really count that high in the big scheme of things. First is difficulty of curriculum, then gpa/rank, then standardized test scores. The SAT I counts most and then SAT II’s. After you hit the mark with the academic measures, then they use your EC’s, essays, and recs to decide between acamedically qualified applicants. Don’t downplay the academics, for a non-legacy, non-URM at HYP, academically qualified means toughest curriculum with almost all A’s and an SAT I of at least 1500/1600. Sometimes on CC you will see posters say that after a certain point, the academics don’t matter that much and the EC’s take over. This is true, but the point where that happens can very high.</p>
<p>Large public schools tend to be more numbers driven.</p>
<p>The point as this relates to AP scores is that no college requires you to submit them, and the common app doesn’t have a space for them. If you have all 5’s, then just have the College Board send their score report and they will get into your folder that way. At the extremely selective schools, only 4’s and 5’s should be reported.</p>
<p>Taking the AP courses is very, very important but the scores are not. There has been some discussion about how this works, but that is the way it works now.</p>
<p>Dufus, how can you only report your 4s and 5s? Don’t they all come together?</p>
<p>self-reporting (from yourself) is different from actual reporting (from the CB)</p>
<p>i’m thinking about omitting my 3 in chem ap (yea yea…horribly self- studied, deserve what i got…blah blah blah…oh well), and just reporting my 4’s on history and english language and 5 on calc</p>
<p>HOWEVER, for the Boston college app for example (not applying), it says to report “all scores,” so i’m thinking some schools might rescind if they specifically state this, but an applicant decides to only report some?</p>
<p>Look at collegeboard.com. If you do it a year in advance, you can cancel a score once and for all time. If you are applying to college this Fall, there is a $15 fee per score per college to withhold a score. I’m not trying to get too definite here, but if applying to a school like Duke, you are better not reporting a 3. My own feeling is that if the report is missing altogether, it won’t hurt you.</p>
