<p>I got a 1 on an AP exam that I took sophomore year. Will it hurt me?</p>
<p>I also have another question (just to spare having to make another topic):</p>
<p>Does UT allow you to double major in two fields that are in the same school?</p>
<p>For some reason, most universities place little emphasis on AP scores. I believe that they should be used in tandem with GPA to measure academic achievement because the scores are standardized and reveal how well you actually understand the subject rather than how easy/hard your teacher was.</p>
<p>Double majoring is acceptable within the CNS but not in engineering. I’m not sure about other schools.</p>
<p>Ahh thanks! I have another question!! :)</p>
<p>Does UT require SAT IIs?</p>
<p>Nope! They’re looked at but not weighed very heavily.</p>
<p>So if I were to apply to the CNS, there are no required subject tests?</p>
<p>Also, I’ve read that CNS requires you to take the ALEKS no matter how far you are in your math sequence. Is this true?</p>
<p>bump for my extra questions.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Going back to the original AP score question, are AP scores self-reported? Like they won’t see all of your scores until after you are admitted?</p>
<p>They are self reported, but if you report them incorrectly your admission can be resinded.</p>
<p>So they won’t see all of your scores until after you are admitted?</p>
<p>You self report them on apply Texas. So yes they see them. You need to put each one down. If you don’t want that “1” to stay, you can petition College Board to delete the score, then it will not be part of your AP record and it would not have to be self reported, because it wouldn’t exisit anymore. Many students take AP classes without taking the exam so don’t worry about it raising a red flag, it won’t. Mainly, you need to relax. You have another year before you even apply. Take this energy and put into your studies and get that rank up!</p>
<p>^ This. </p>
<p>You <em>can</em> get a leg up on the competition and learn not only the answers to all of your questions, but also specific things you can start doing immediately and throughout junior and senior years that will improve your chances of admission (and make the application process and senior fall a lot less stressful). How? Set aside a couple of hours ASAP to carefully and thoroughly go through the Be A Longhorn and Apply Texas sites (you can actually preview YOUR application now!). Take notes. Prepare a spreadsheet of requirements and deadlines that will serve as your “to do” list and master guide throughout the application process. Add SAT/ACT test/retake dates, as applicable–if you are considering subject tests, weigh the pros/cons of taking the same subjects as any AP tests you’ll take in May and consider whether the May or June subject test date works best for you in terms of both preparation and your school/summer schedule. Note any questions you have re: senior course selection. Draft an extended resume, and identify strengths to build on and weaknesses to mitigate. Start a log of ideas that come to you over the year that might be useful in writing essays. Invest time and effort in developing key faculty relationships so you’ll have rec writers who are genuinely enthused about speaking on your behalf. </p>
