[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is from TJ. He got A- in AP Physics C M&EM but in the AP exams he got - Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism - 3 and Physics C: Mechanics - 4. What are the chances in top colleges such as Ivies?. Do these colleges consider the grade or AP scores or both?. Should we report these AP scores in the college application?[/quote] U.S. colleges' undergraduate admissions are [b]NOT[/b] a meritocracy system but are based on institutional priorities. I have had students from the same high school (not TJ) who had A's in AP Physics C and 5s on both AP Physics M and E&M, yet still didn't get into IVYs. (High SAT, award-winning ECs, etc., all stellar). Another student without those scores got in. So when parents say that the admissions process in U.S. is a [u]strategic game[/u], they are actually right. [/quote]
