SAT II Subjects matter in both admissions and placement, as do APs.

Anyone who says SAT IIs matter only for admisssions and APs only for credit is wrong, as the majority of colleges say both will be used for both admission and credit (of course depends which college).

AP Scores do show things. If your AP class was a joke and u got a 100 in it but a 1 on the exam, clearly that AP Class is meaningless compared to the person who got a 80 in the class but a 5 on the exam. I’d take the person with the 3.0 and 5 on the exam over the clumsy person with the 100 in the class but 1 on the exam.

Of course, this is just one example, but it holds true. Exceptions are always possible. In general though, SAT II’s are “more” important, but APs arent useless either.
