[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Congratulations on such an achievement! In a perfect world, it should be determinative, just like the SAT (or ACT) since the College Board is a national organization and thus AP scores can be used to compare candidates coming from very different educational systems. This is because GPA is hard to trust - so many public schools have grade inflation, and each school weighs advanced courses differently, forcing colleges to recalculate GPA anyway. And yet everything I've read seems to discount the importance of AP scores. I do not understand it. It's not really fair. Even if you hold that paying for APs is a factor of wealth and thus inequitable, that reasoning doesn't make any sense. By far the greatest injection of inequity is the extra-curricular category, that weighs so much in US college admissions. The cost of APs, by comparison, is negligible. So...?
