[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take the APs. You don't have to take the class seriously. About half of AP tests are failed, and most of the rest are not mastery 5s. Colleges know AP courses are BS. [/quote]

Which is why when you show 5s on all of your AP exams college love it.  I think only like 10% of kids score 5s on some of them.

My kid had 5s on all of his and got in everywhere. Also had straight As and high ACT, but I think - at least for T1-20 schools it did further differentiate him from grade inflated kids.[/quote]
NP. I think the PP was referring to senior year AP, as senior year AP exam scores are only for credit, not admissions.[/quote]

We were told this, too. But you can list AP scores on your application. I tend to agree now that the 5s helped.[/quote]
I agree that AP exam scores might help. But, my point was that [i]only junior year AP scores can possibly help[/i], simply due to timing. Senior year AP exams do not even occur until after the student has been admitted to and enrolled in a college.[/quote]

Unless your kid has applied to Oxford or Cambridge or another overseas University where they may wait to see the AP exam results before accepting, i.e. have given out a "provisional" offer on the basis that certain grades are met.[/quote]
