[quote=Anonymous]Most allow you to self-report. But we're at a non-DMV private and our college counselor who is in direct communication with many top college admissions officers said that AP scores don't really move the dial in a meaningful way pre-admissions. They can add some confidence or affirmation to an already high GPA (similar to a high ACT or SAT) but it doesn't really elevate a candidate too much. We are still stuck with a very subjective, holistic review process despite all our desires as parents to have a more transparent, predictable and objective system. Our college counselor suggested we take AP tests only if we wish to get college credit for a specific course by getting a high score, and that many students take the May AP tests in Grade 12 after college admissions is already settled.[/quote]
