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 [b]a candidate being rejected for having a 4 instead of a 5 on an exam[/b]. We know in Selingo’s book a 4 on AP Calc actually helped an applicant over the hump. [/quote]

This is absurdly stupid. Kids spend 4 years putting together their accomplishments, grades, ECs, essays, etc. And A SINGLE AP EXAM GRADE rules them out?

Fu---ing absurd. [/quote]

Well presumably it was the straw that broke the camel's back. At a certain stage in the process, the school has more qualified students than they can admit. If a pool of students is otherwise equivalent, but some have straight 5s and some don't, that's one way to make a selection. What's your suggestion of who they deny at that point?[/quote]

Every day I'm getting more and more annoyed at this crazy process. What a racket [/quote]

No, but really, how would you decide? If Harvard has 60,000 applicants and can make offers to about 2,000, how do you propose they do it?[/quote]
