I suspect these kids are getting A's in the class but only 3's or worse in the exam. Which shows bad grade elevation and is unlikely to impress AO's.

You’re quoting my kid’s stats. She got As in all the APs and 4/5s on the exams - submitted. No 3s. Sorry that doesn’t fit your narrative.

My narrative is that there's no value in mentioning the number of AP's without the scores. That's it. Moron.

clueless - please sit down. AP exams scores don't matter in admission.

Is it freshman connection or literally "spring admission"? Spring would be new process. FC allows classes and dorm in the fall. Just undeclared and limited classes for one semester.

Do not let this spring admission affect you in the least. It really means nothing.

Your student can still live in the dorms and enroll in credit granting classes. Student will just need to take the classes in the afternoon. If UMD is for your child, do NOT let FC be a deterrent.

Why would you say that? My DD had all 4s and 5s, but I never stated her scores when responding. Too much typing (and unnecessary).
