[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you save the PDF of the common app application, you can see the scores listed in there when you self-report.

How can an admissions officer not look at that?

DC reported 5 test scores -two 5s and three 4s.
He didn't list AP Scholar with Distinction on awards

...and even if they didn't care, DC worked really hard to get those scores, [b]which will provide college credit. [/b]

Only state schools or low tier colleges will give you “college credit” for AP scores. And guarantee the college course in that subject your kid “worked so hard” for a test score in is much better actually taught at a college by a professor.[/quote]

Already checked with the T50 school that he already committed to.  :D

Just make sure it makes sense for the major, if it doesn’t you may be paying higher tuition for credits that aren’t applicable. I know people who have rescinded AP scores in college for this reason. DC’s college has rising tuition based on year. 
Getting credit for 4 out of the 5 AP exams taken so far.  That's 12 hours of course credit :mrgreen:
