[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is what Sara Harberson has to say (former AO at Penn and dean of admissions at F&M, iirc):
“If you are applying to highly selective colleges, they like to see 5s on AP exams. Getting a 4 is okay in their eyes, but I have been part of admissions committees where the student gets a 4, especially in a subject matter they plan to pursue, and that's enough of a reason for that student to be denied.”

I assume this was likely from her days at Penn.[/quote]

But then, [b]if you do not submit AP scores other than 5s, then won't the AO know that the student scored below a 5 for the other AP classes?  Why wouldn't you submit 3s and 4s to at least show that you didn't get 1s and 2s?[/b][/quote]

So any answers to this question?  Why would they only submit 5s?  That clearly shows that the kid didn't score 5s on the other AP tests.  Don't they want to show that they got 3s and 4s and not 1s and 2s?[/quote]

My DC took 10 AP classes total, but only sat for 5 exams.  In at T10 so I don’t think the college assumed DC got 1s on the exams that weren’t submitted [/quote]
