[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a common misconception among parents and students that colleges take AP exam scores into account in the admissions process.  They don't.  My kids never reported any of their scores to colleges until after they were admitted and enrolled and used their scores to get college credit.

SAT/ACT:  admissions
AP:  college credit[/quote]
How about top schools?  Do they take AP scores into account for admissions?[/quote]

[b]Yes.  I have been at admissions talks where they say this.    Can you get in without touting your AP scores?  Yes, it all depends on the circumstances.[/b]  [/quote]

This is simply not true.  The poster has no idea what she's talking about.  Admissions officers want to see students taking the most rigorous course load possible, which in many (but not all) schools means lots of AP classes.  But the AP exam scores don't count except for credit.  Remember, most applicants will have taken the bulk of their AP classes in the senior year, and by the time they take the AP exams in those classes they already will have be admitted to college.

AP exam scores are not a part of the admissions process.[/quote]
