[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does UVA look at scores on AP exams? [/quote]

I don't think so, very few schools consider those, mostly private universities. [/quote]

Yes, you should if 4 or 5.  My DC got credits for his AP work and for a NOVA summer course he took between junior anad senior year.  Should I send my AP scores to UVA?

From the internet re UVA: "High school students should have their AP score reports sent directly to the Office of Admission at the University (College Code 5820) in the summer following the senior year of high school."[/quote]
UVA parent here. Just to clarify, UVA will accept APs for credits (4s or 5s). However, and this is significant at UVA, many of those AP courses cannot be applied to general ed requirements (for College of Arts and Sciences anyway), which are extensive at UVA and mirror those of SLACs. For kids who take multiple history, English, science, etc., APs, they can graduate early by drawing on those credit, but they have to scramble to fulfill GE requirements that can't be fulfilled with ALL of their AP courses (only some).

Also, and I found this weird, students get placed into certain GE courses during their first year based on their SAT scores, no kidding. Happened to my very high-scoring SAT kid. Wasn't a fan of this approach, because the kid landed in courses with older students (sophomores, juniors). Advised kid to reject those course offerings, but they didn't have a choice. Really odd.
