<p>For our 5/20 orientation, I’m sure there is no AP scoring available by that date. Still, the placement exams don’t sound all that rigorous & they will look at your SATII & other testing. They would have your prior year AP scores as well. For other orientation sessions, I read that AP scoring can be faxed or e-mailed to the school by CB before it is received in the mail, but I don’t have details. According to the folks at USC I spoke with, you MUST take the placement testing, but from posts here, it appears there may be some flexibility, particularly depending on your major/school.</p>
