<p>I am currently a freshman (standing sophomore) and I am strongly considering transferring to a “reach” school in which I was previously denied. I am a mech/aero eng. major with a math minor, I currently have a 4.0 gpa. In anticipation I have contacted the university which I intend to transfer in regards to the transfer process. Their assistant director reminded me to send my AP scores during the transfer process, but he noted that the most important factors in transfer admission were course selection and gpa. I did take AP courses in high school and received A’s in all of them, however I did very poorly on the AP exams. I took several college courses as well and transferred all of them for credit. I have more than the enough credits to fulfill the freshman course requirements as I described in an email to him with my course lists and descriptions. In his reply he seemed more concerned with my AP exam scores than anything else. </p>
<p>My question is whether or not universities can see if I have taken the AP exams? should I just say I never took them? why do AP exams still matter, I have already been in college for a semester and have straight A’s?</p>
