This blanket statement is false. We know that Emory wants AP scores if you don’t submit SAT scores. See 2023 Selingo interview.  Sara Harberson talks about a candidate being rejected for having a 4 instead of a 5 on an exam. We know in Selingo’s book a 4 on AP Calc actually helped an applicant over the hump. [/quote]

How would she know this?

Because she witnessed it as an admissions officer/dean.[/quote]

Anything that happened regarding testing of any kind before the last few years is irrelevant.  When did she last work in admissions?

Fall 2023, John Latting, Emory's dean of admissions: "Latting said Emory’s admissions office has retooled its rankings system for applicants, formally incorporating nontraditional measures such as creative output and educational opportunity for the first time this year. They’re also weighing “external assessment” more heavily than GPA, with a particular focus on AP scores."
