[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does "AP Scholar" mean anything on college application forms? I mean they can already see that his scores and which ones he took. [/quote] I don't know what "AP Scholar" means (and my child went to Langley) but, yes, the colleges and universities will look first to GPA and the DEPTH of coursework done, meaning the more AP courses the better, and then test scores at the same time. Only if they make that cut will the college or university open the file and start reading. The average application gets a 6 min. read by maybe 3 admissions folks. Tops. Sad but true. Harvard and Yale can't possibly read 35,000 applications - most of which are already self-selected, meaning only the top apply there to begin with. Personally, I think they throw them down the stairs and the 3% that land on their edge get in. The other 3% are legacies, URMs, and athletes. It's a bruising system now compared to what most of us went through.[/quote]
