[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  
I have kids (twins) at two different NYC privates.  One school's college counselor says to submit the 4s, regardless of subject and planned major.  The other says to not submit 4's especially if they're in the subject matter that the kid is hoping to study (i.e. a STEM kid should only submit STEM 5s).

I have a kid who received 4's on the Physics C exams (mechanics and E&M) and was hoping to study STEM at a top school (grades and SAT (790 math) support this) but her counselor says not to submit the physics 4 scores.  I think it looks weird to just not submit these scores.  UGH. [/quote]

Your instinct is right. It also signals that the exam was either not taken or a 3,2,1 grade. I would definitely include the 4. [/quote]

Agree. The schools know your kid took the exam and looks bad not to submit, especially coming from a NYC private. Submit all 4s and 5s. My DC submitted two 4s and 5 5s after junior year. Got in ED to a T10[/quote]

T[b]hey do not know you took an exam unless you tell them[/b].

Agree to report all 4s and 5s.

They can see you've taken the class, so if you don't report an exam grade you were either too rubbish to take it or the result was shit.[/quote]

That is a different issue. They don’t know you took the exam unless you tell them, right?

They will assume you took the exam, especially if you are at a private school that offers AP or a public school where most kids take APs. [/quote]
