[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges are not basing admissions on AP scores.

Why are AP classes not showing on transcripts? Wouldn't you be better off with the college knowing you took AP classes, especially if you have a high GPA? They aren't going to ask for your AP scores unless you're requesting credits and waivers from required classes - after you're admitted.

Lots of privates have no AP classes. All classes are rigorous, at honors level, but dont align to AP curricula enough to be "AP classes" ie they dont teach to the test.[/quote]

Yeah, ok. No APs on transcript because there are no APs taken. Are you saying these students take AP exams on their own? That would actually answer my question. But are colleges asking for these scores from students at these schools?[/quote]

Our private, which is the most academically rigorous in our city, tells kids to take APs even in classes which are not offered as APs because kids do well on the tests.  Private colleges, in particular, like to see the scores.[/quote]
