[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To admissions?  Not at all. 
To placing out of a class that isn’t part of your major, if your student scores well then potentially very good. 
Colleges publish which classes/scores transfer in but it can be very nuanced based on what your student wants to study. [/quote]

Not true. They are absolutely interested in how students have done with college level work. It's a much better indicator of preparedness than the SAT/ACT.[/quote]

They are a data point. And good ones can only be helpful. But, come on, nobody really thinks that AP classes are “college level work”[/quote]

The COLLEGES do, enough so that they award credit for them or place students into higher level classes if the scores are high enough. I've had many students tell me there first year of college was easier than their junior and senior years of high school b/c of all the APs they took.[/quote]

Mostly for electives or placement you can get by taking the college’s placement exam.  For many students AP credit is not a magic pill.  Depends on the college.[/quote]
