Congrats to your kid! |
Give your kid credit. The same teacher no doubt has other kids who got 2s, especially in light of this year's score distribution. |
He is a smart kid, but he was wonderfully prepared and didn't really do much on his own. He also really loved these teachers. I feel like teachers are crapped on so much and they tend to just hear the negative or when something is wrong--so I think its good for them to get a thank you for their students. |

How do you do this? Do the colleges start a file for you before you apply? |
So this is my child's first AP exam (AP Gov). They are a rising sophomore and received a 4. Are they doomed according to DCUM standards?

I have never seen this. What schools (1) want an official AP score report prior to admission and (2) suggest students send them prior to admission season? The only school I'm aware of that will only consider AP scores via official report is Georgetown, which doesn't have a place in its app to self-report AP scores. There may be others, and I'd like to know what those are. (As an aside, seems odd to send AP scores to colleges before the student knows what the scores even are, though maybe I'm misunderstanding. One would wait until at least today - to see the scores - before ordering an AP score report. Unless, perhaps, the student wanted to report AP scores from freshman and sophomore year, but was concerned about how they might perform on their junior year AP exams?) |
4 is good and great for a first AP score. |
Can you include them in your application? My kid got 5s on all his AP tests, and I think he’d like to share them during the application process. But maybe they aren’t considered? |
Same for my kid. Also 4 in AP comp science. I guess we can say bye bye to MIT ?! |
There is a place to enter them in the Testing section of the Common App. |
Thank you. |
A 4 in an AP in 9th grade is great. Good lord. |
Congrats to both of your kids! APUSH sounds really hard - my DD is taking it this year and is nervous ![]() |
Of course not. Less than half of AP Gov takers got 4 or 5, and very few first years took any AP courses. |
