[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The code will be evident--if you don't submit test scores, the presumption will be that you performed poorly.  Sad but true.[/quote]

I agree in other years but this year is different. Kids desparetely want to take the tests and can't.[/quote]

:roll: Every smart rising senior took the SAT or ACT back in the fall. And every smart rising senior already has 4-10 official AP exam scores from 10th and 11th grade.[/quote]

My son's HS only allows one AP freshman year (you must meet the criteria in order to be placed in this course; very high HSPT scores, very high MS grades and test scores) and one AP sophomore year (same situation as the freshman year course; very high grade in the prerequisite honors course). So the highest number of AP scores a rising junior has is two and that's a very small number of students. So your statement is a blanket statement. Not all schools have the same rules. In order to take AP courses in 11th and 12th grades, you need an A (and in some cases, a high A) in the pre-req honors course. Lots of smart kids aren't running around in the AP hamster ball anymore. Maybe in public schools but not in private. [/quote]

By smart, pp meant super smart. So the kids with very high prerequisite scores in your case. The rest aren't going to get into elites anyway. [/quote]
