<p>Scores have come out the first couple days of July over the past three years (the limit of our experience). There’s an automated 800 number you can call, which I believe will show up on CB at some point, or you can always log in to CC – news travels much faster here! You’ll need a credit card to pay the $8 and that’s it. The recording tells you the scores for all the exams you took, assuming the scores have been reported. Sometimes there are score delays, just like w/SAT reporting.</p>
<p>The paper copy of your scores are mailed in mid-July. When you’re a senior, your college may post them on your school log-in before CB ever has them available by phone.</p>
<p>So do you pay the $8 online beforehand or after, or over the phone? I’m kind of confused.</p>
<p>Keilexandra - I haven’t checked AP scores online, but I imagine that when the scores become available, you call up with your credit card information, and that they’ll give you the scores. I wouldn’t make myself crazy over that though. I think D received her scores just a day or two after they became available by phone last summer. And I was willing to pay, but she told me to wait, so I did.</p>
<p>APUSH this morning! Good luck to all the test takers! Is there one this afternoon as well? I haven’t heard anyone mention that one, but good luck to those test takers as well. :)</p>
<p>Happy APUSH day everyone :eek: D took the car to get to school early and get a seat in the main room and not the overflow room which is close to the cafe and will be noisier.</p>
<p>re interviews- LIMOM is your D is going to consider Hamilton, I know her GC mentioned it, they strongly track interest and strongly desire on campus interviews.</p>
<p>From what I remember for the scores last year, they were avail by phone around the beginning of July as people said, we got the paper in the mail closer to two weeks later. D was not in a rush and she also was away, it was me with the cc induced frenzy. I opened her letter and faxed her a copy of her score. She’ll be away the same this year, but she is cool as a cuke and I very much don’t think she would want to spend the $8 for the rush. There is no online option, it is phone and then mail. If you don’t use your SSN with the CB, you need another number which is part of your registration materials. </p>
<p>She did decide last night that she will commit to putting ACT prep time in the week after SAT IIs/finals to take the ACT one last time in June. She is adamant about no senior testing.</p>
<p>And yes there are other tests today! There is Euro in the afternoon and also Studio Art portfolios are due.</p>
<p>We do dinner for trimester grades. I had mentioned $ for SAT grades but never formalized it. We’ll probably do something big at the end of the year will all the hard work put in by both D1 and D2.</p>
<p>Numbers and Options to Getting AP Scores</p>
<p>Option 1
If you do not have AP#'s or did not write your SS# on answer sheet, you should call AP Customer Service at 1-888-225-5427 (stay on the line until a c/s rep picks up and you will be asked a couple questions. eg D.O.B. etc). After verification the rep will provide you with your AP #. You will then be asked if you want to hear your scores by phone, if yes you will be transferred to an automated system where you will need to have your credit cards (Visa/mc, Discover, AMEX) and will be charged a fee of $8.00.</p>
<p>Option 2
If students already have their AP# or wrote their SS# on their answer sheet they can bypass speaking directly to a CS Rep and call 1-888-308-0013 with their credit card numbers. (Do note this is automated)</p>
<p>Option 3</p>
<p>Wait for the mail :-)</p>
<p>My understanding is that you can start calling early July to get this info.</p>
<p>I have a friend whose ds has both APUSH and Euro today. Yikes. Good luck to him, to my ds and to everyone who is testing today. Phew. One more done.</p>
<p>Hmmmm. I was thinking we could wait on the AP scores, but if everyone on here starts calling early I know I won’t be able to resist! 
learninginprog, sounds like this isn’t your first rodeo. ;)</p>
<p>D took a note to be dismissed after the test is over. She has a test in another class! but she took it yesterday (easy) so she is all set there. It is an early release day anyway, as PROM IS TONIGHT. She has an appt this afternoon to get her hair done and we are letting her sleep over with a small group of friends, hope that works out well, she needs the break and down time but she has a race tomorrow afternoon. Oh well if she is not up to her usual it can be her teammates that deal with it. I think she will be fine, she is one who usually does get sleep at sleepovers even when others do not.</p>
<p>I had a feeling AP Euro was today, but don’t know many sophs, so I wasn’t sure. </p>
<p>Maybe D did receive her AP grades 2 weeks after they became available by phone last year - it doesn’t seem like it took that long, but it’s possible.</p>
<p>My D is pretty adamant about no testing during senior year too. I really hope her SAT IIs were good to go, because if that’s the case, then no matter what her SAT/ACT retakes are, she’ll be done. </p>
<p>Jackief - did you D have an interview at Hamilton while she was visiting? My D is not being nearly as cooperative with the college thing as your D is. I’ve pretty much dragged her to every college visit except one. You have a good memory - Hamilton is on the list her GC created for her, as is U of Rochester, and both track interest. I’m hoping we’ll get to visit both of them over the summer (plus Colgate and Geneseo), but I’m not sure D will be willing.</p>
<p>jackief - hope your D has a great time at the prom! Wish we could see pictures of all the prom kids!</p>
<p>Wow, hard to imagine someone taking both APUSH as well as AP Euro in one year. One of my sons is taking AP Bio and Physics B on Monday. Won’t be a pleasant day for him. I know that he is the only one in his school doing this, because it was an “accident” that they allowed him to take Physics Honors along with AP Bio. School apparently has a policy that kids taking an AP science must take “regular” physics rather than Physics Honors. Much to S’s delight, no one picked up on the fact that he was scheduled for both. Apparently, he has been the talk of the science department and Dean’s office for quite a while. 
I wouldn’t envy him on Monday, though.</p>
<p>LIMOM- no she didn’t interview at Hamilton- I gave her a choice pick one from interview, attend a class, talk to a coach and suggested B and that’s what she did. I thought if she really liked it we could return in the summer for the others. She ended up neutral on it, but did really like Colgate. They are 30-45 mins apart. We will probably do another trip. The admissions guy said that alumnni interviews were ok as long as you have already visited the campus, but the feeling I got is that they prefer the on campus interviews.</p>
<p>A friend at work as a daughter with a prom next week, we will be sharing pics. I guess we could join that cc facebook group, I am still not taking that step and clinging to the shreds of anonymity that I still delude myself that I am maintaining.</p>
<p>Sometime I have to get out a calendar and see what time we actually will have during the summer, I’m sure much less than I am envisioning.</p>
<p>YDS: You are correct, DS did 1 AP last year, and was away at a summer program when he heard about this and he called me to get out the credit card #. The score was worth the $8.00 call. </p>
<p>This year he has 4 AP’s, not sure what the anxiety will be likely, perhaps he’ll use his own debit card. Then again, knowing him perhaps not :-)</p>
<p>APUSH and AP Euro in the same year? I told my S that one and he just shook his head. This from the kid who’s doing AP Physics C and Linear Algebra this year. What ever rocks (or sinks) your boat!</p>
<p>Last evening, the APUSH prep continued on through dinner, as H and I quizzed S about different periods off the tops of our head. The H continued on with S from his APUSH notes after dessert. He wants to get to school early today so I suspect the APUSH teacher has something going.</p>
<p>Next stop: AP Physics C on Monday.</p>
<p>S is getting more info on his summer research internship at USC, while he awaits the completion of this school year. The professor gave him a link so he could start noodling around with the Matlab software. The climate modeling is going to look at the effects of a wide array of things, from chemical changes in ice cores from the arctic regions (now watch him decide he needs to make a trip to Antarctica!) to tree rings in tropical regions to stalagmites/tites formations. He wanted something with a mix of sciences and it sure looks like he’s going to get it here.</p>
<p>FAP–congrats to your son for lining up that summer research position. I wish my D could fit something in. I think it would look good apps and help her to clarify her interests. But the 6-week summer ballet intensive is non-negotiable in her book. I wonder if one of the local profs would be open to having her shadow for a day or two just to learn more about what goes on in an astronomy lab. (A lot of computer work, I gather.)</p>
<p>Good luck to all of the AP test takers! D’s taking the APUSH exam this morning, her first AP test. The prep went on all last night and in the car while I drove her to school this morning. I can’t imagine having that AND Euro on the same day, although a friend of D did do that last year. The scope of material in AP Euro alone is quite daunting, and coupled with US History seems like quite a bear to have to cover. Due to an paperwork glitch, D’s Euro score last year was held up, so we ended up getting it by phone(we gave the credit card # over the phone), around mid-July IIRC. This year, she’s planning to just sit tight and wait for it by mail.</p>
<p>jackief, I hope that your daughter has a great time at her prom. Having it on a Friday night must make for a wild day. D’s prom is tomorrow night (dress has come back from the seamstress, hair appointments set up, etc), although this year our HS’s senior prom is on a Friday night. D’s also doing the sleepover w/ friends, although next year they’ll have the after-prom going on until the morning.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>They sure will be. It looks like D will also be sending one of her two notifications to Rochester. I know that in the fall they will conducting admissions interviews in different cities, including our area, but I heard that those slots fill up fast and I’m wondering if it might be better just to head back up there with D briefly sometime over the summer and let her interview then. She’ll probably be interviewing with a couple of other schools over the summer, too, and hopefully we can minimize her missing school days this fall.</p>
<p>Reading the posts about interview, reminded me of this story.
A few years ago, a parent told me that he thinks his D, did not get into H because her hair was green, when she did the interview. His assumption was based on the fact that she did get into Y, and her hair was brown, when she did the interview.</p>
<p>Best of luck to all the AP test takers today - DD just went out the door with her APUSH study guide under her arm - she has been studying really hard for several weeks now and I hope that she is rewarded for that effort. </p>
<p>Regardless of the outcome, I am really proud of her tenacity and am comfortable that the score she receives will be the best that she is capable of getting. :)</p>

<p>Green hair as in colored that way, or the tinge that light haired swimmers can sometimes get from the pool chemicals?</p>
<p>I gave my S a “high five for a 5” as he walked out the door this morning. So he then stopped and showed me a bunch of “hand greetings” the kids have. You have to envision these, but some included: the turkey (a closed fist to an open hand), the snowman (built up closed fist to another person’s closed fist), the stickshift (closing one’s hand over the other person’s fist.) There must be a lot more of these that he can show me this evening.</p>
