[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's nothing that anyone can say on this board that is going to convince anyone who insists that AP scores carry significant weight for college admissions that they're wrong. 
So why bother.

For one thing, most applicants aren't even taking half or more of their AP exams until AFTER college decisions are even made.

My four kids each took lots of AP courses, some did much, much better than others on the exams overall, they all submitted all the scores they had to every college they applied to -- and there was no relationship between their AP scores and the schools that ultimately admitted them.  It all came down to grades, course selection, and SAT/ACT scores.

But people are stubborn.  So I'd say either submit all of your scores or none, because if you only submit some the presumption will be that you didn't do well on the ones you didn't submit.  [/quote]

Your inferential anecdata is clear and convincing. Though I’m not sure anyone is saying they carry significant weight; rather they can be a factor.[/quote]
