[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is at a T10. Got 3s and 4s on most AP exams. One 5. Did not submit them. But did submit the SAT since it was 99th percentile [/quote]

That is pretty embarrassing.  For someone aiming for T10, they should have gotten virtually all 5s

If you think your kid received a good education, they did not.  They slipped in through the cracks to a T10 but have no business being there.[/quote]

Colleges like to see you took the most rigorous courses available, and that includes AP classes.  Colleges don't care that much if you took the AP exams, and IMO, they would rather you not get the AP credit so that you have to pay for that course in college.

My kid got a 1440 on their SAT, one 2 (CS that they absolutely hated), two 3s and two 4s on their AP exams.  The 2 and  3s were from AP exams that DC took when they were a freshman and sophomore.  The 4s were during junior year.  Maturity may impact how well you do.[/quote]

Those are very low scores.  Your child did not learn the material.  Where the heck did they go to high school?[/quote]

Go away nasty cow [/quote]

Not that pp but not nasty, observant. Scores of 2 are essentially a fail. Scores of 3 are the lowest possible accepted. At the UCs for example, you can gain a full class credit with 5s and 4's but only a half credit with a 3. There is value in higher grades and I mean in termsm of $$$ as well as kudos.[/quote]
