[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much do AP scores matter in the college admissions process at the super selective schools? I have a child with excellent SAT scores (1550+) and will likely be a National Merit Semifinalist, excellent grades in rigorous classes (4.0 unweighted), and excellent ECs, but incredibly underwhelming AP exam scores (three 5s, three 4s, and two 3s). The three 5s and three 4s are related to his potential major. Has anyone successfully gotten into a Top 10 with AP scores this low? I assume we would not report the two 3s? Today was not a good day with the AP results.[/quote]

DC '25 had identical AP scores after junior year and did not report 3s. Got into 2 Ivies, [b]2 WASPs,[/b] and one of the toughest state flagships for OOS applicants, among others. So much depends on overall package. These scores alone will not preclude admission, especially if 5s relate to intended major.  [/quote]
? are there colleges that only allow white anglo saxon protestants?[/quote]

Taking this question at face value, assuming you are new to DCUM and the college process: WASP = Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Pomona[/quote]
