Of course not. Less than half of AP Gov takers got 4 or 5, and very few first years took any AP courses.

Btw, a bunch of a-holes on this board said my son was going to bomb APUSH after I commented that he found it easy (on a thread specifically asking what your kid thought of this year's APUSH AP exam).
I wasn't one of those asshats, but I was worried when you said your kid found it easy, as my kid did not. He got a 5 though, so we're pleased.
Congrats to both of your kids! APUSH sounds really hard - my DD is taking it this year and is nervous

Same for my kid. Also 4 in AP comp science. I guess we can say bye bye to MIT ?!
A 4 in an AP in 9th grade is great. Good lord.

I have never seen this. What schools (1) want an official AP score report prior to admission and (2) suggest students send them prior to admission season?
The only school I'm aware of that will only consider AP scores via official report is Georgetown, which doesn't have a place in its app to self-report AP scores. There may be others, and I'd like to know what those are.
(As an aside, seems odd to send AP scores to colleges before the student knows what the scores even are, though maybe I'm misunderstanding. One would wait until at least today - to see the scores - before ordering an AP score report. Unless, perhaps, the student wanted to report AP scores from freshman and sophomore year, but was concerned about how they might perform on their junior year AP exams?)
Can you include them in your application? My kid got 5s on all his AP tests, and I think he’d like to share them during the application process. But maybe they aren’t considered?
There is a place to enter them in the Testing section of the Common App.
Thank you.

4 is good and great for a first AP score.

How do you do this? Do the colleges start a file for you before you apply?

That's excellent - congrats to your kid
Thank you- he is thrilled. And I am having him write his teacher a big thank you. It really is a testament to their hard work and dedication. Excellent teachers.
Give your kid credit. The same teacher no doubt has other kids who got 2s, especially in light of this year's score distribution.
He is a smart kid, but he was wonderfully prepared and didn't really do much on his own. He also really loved these teachers. I feel like teachers are crapped on so much and they tend to just hear the negative or when something is wrong--so I think its good for them to get a thank you for their students.
