[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is from TJ. He got A- in AP Physics C M&EM but in the AP exams he got - Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism - 3 and Physics C: Mechanics - 4. What are the chances in top colleges such as Ivies?. Do these colleges consider the grade or AP scores or both?. Should we report these AP scores in the college application?[/quote] So much beyond AP test scores determines acceptance. Always exceptions, but probably safe to assume they want to see "excellence" in and out of school. [/quote] However, if kid is destined for a STEM major, I'd question if they cannot earn a 5 in STEM APs (while at TJ which is tops for STEM already), do they really belong at an Ivy? My own kid got 5s on all the STEM APs (Chemistry, Mechanics, AB/BC, CS, BIO) and didn't get into any T25 schools. They are happy at one ranked 30-40 and it's the right fit for them. They are surrounded by plenty of kids at/above their academic level. [/quote]
