I heard colleges start scouting students based on the PSAT scores, is that true? Also, do colleges look for a certain number of AP classes as a selection criteria? Thank you in advance!
Colleges don’t scout kids, unless they are an athlete or ridiculously truly unique. Like you are a regeneron finalist that also won the international math Olympiad.
