[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been an alumni interviewer for an Ivy for a while in this area.  6-8 by graduation would be normal for successful applicants whose schools offer a full range of APs.  The private school kids are on the lower end of that range, but it would be rare to see a successful applicant who didn't have at least three 5's on tests taken as a junior.[/quote]

Question for you.  AP test results aren't actually reported to colleges during the admissions process (they are theoretically for placement purposes and you don't send the AP results until after you've been admitted).  Is it something you ask about in interviews?  Do kids volunteer it in interviews?  Do kids include it somewhere on their application?  I am genuinely curious since our HS keeps saying the colleges don't get the results.  My kid has gotten 5s on his two APs so far as a freshman/sophomore so is in good shape on that front but not sure how/if it will come through on the application when that time comes.[/quote]
