I think it depends. I don’t believe most colleges base admissions solely on test scores, so your student with all 5’s on his APs is not necessarily going to be admitted over the student with varied test results. Both could be accepted, neither could be, or only one could be, but if it’s one, WHICH one would depend on what the rest of their app looks like and what the college wants. Maybe the student with higher scores applied for an extremely popular major where competition across the country is very tough. Maybe the student with lower scores is an excellent musician and the school’s orchestra leader has a spot to fill. There are a lot of variables we don’t know.
