[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]do the AP scores weight heavily on admissions?[/quote]
Yes, they do at competitive colleges, especially for competitive majors. Academics typically account for two-thirds of the admission criteria, with minimum unweighted and weighted GPA serving as early filters to narrow down the applicant pool from thousands. The next level of filtering criteria would be the rigor of coursework, with AP-level or post-AP-level coursework given the highest preference. If a student receives an A but does not earn a score of 4 or 5 on the AP exam, it could suggest that the grade was inflated. For STEM majors, rigorous coursework such as Calculus BC, Physics C, Chemistry, AP Language/Literature, etc., can significantly enhance the applicant's profile, particularly if they achieve scores of 5 on these exams.[/quote]

Disagree. If you are in-state and you are already admitted, VT or UVA do not care if you pass or fail your AP tests in your senior year of high school... [/quote]
