[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, so for those of you who, like me, think AP scores are a relevant data point for AO to consider, what do you do if your DC has a mix of 4s and 5s and is shooting for T20-T30 schools?  Seems like submitting only the 5s would raise more questions, but the comment about the 4s potentially being a negative in an otherwise strong application give me pause.[/quote]

My kid submitted only 4s or 5s. He took 9 APs and got one 3 and failed rest. He is smart, but lazy. Got into Michigan, which was his #1. Got a 34 on ACT with perfect score on English. This was last year.[/quote]

Thank you.  Sounds just like my kid!  Not sure who Sara Harberson is or why we should care what one random former AO has to say, but this is helpful.  Obviously, none of us knows whether any of this matters but it does seem ridiculous to think a 4 on an AP exam would be a reason NOT to admit an applicant.[/quote]

Definitely makes more sense to listen to an anonymous mom’s anecdote on here than a highly experienced admissions professional. This forum is the best.[/quote]
