[quote=Anonymous]First of all, those are good scores. Give your kid (and yourself) a break. Second, AP scores are not a primary admissions factor for most schools. They can validate a strong record or elevate someone who doesn’t initially look super-strong. As with so much in admissions, it’s all about context. If he’s coming from a school that is unknown to the AOs or where unweighted 4.0s are common, the AP scores might carry a little more weight as validators of the grades. Also, remember that top 10 schools are getting so many applications from students with similar profiles to your kid and will reject most, even those with all 5s. If your kid applies and gets rejected, you won’t know why, but it almost certainly will not be because he didn’t get all 5s. He has a strong profile. Move on and focus on what he can control—essays and other elements of the application.[/quote]
