AP Awards

<p>When are the AP Awards issued out?</p>

<p>They should be in the mail around September. </p>

<p>I remember getting an envelope from CB a few weeks after school started.</p>

<p>What form do they take? o_o is it like a certificate?</p>

<p>Yeah. It's actually not that impressive as people make it out to be. I think it's just a piece of paper...meh.</p>

<p>Will you get the award/envelope if you've already graduated??</p>

<p>say if you qualified for an AP award based off this year's past testing....does that award name appear on the report we get in the mail</p>

<p>i.e. if you are an AP scholar, is that written on the sheet with all the AP scores?</p>

<p>I was AP Scholar with Distinction before, now I'm getting AP National Scholar, w00t ;)</p>

<p>Can you write AP Scholar on an application even if you won't receive the award until september?</p>

<p>whenever i knew i was going to be national merit commended before i got the award i would just put</p>

<p>will be national merit commended</p>

<p>and nobody questioned it</p>

<p>christalena - Yes. They will still mail it to you. I'm not sure whether it's at school or to your home (I always put my mailing address as the school address for standarized exams). We always get a bunch of senior certificates at school and the school mails it individually to those students' college address.</p>

<p>Justin - what application for you is due before September? When you apply to colleges, the awards should already be out by the time you have to submit the apps.</p>

<p>^ Thanks!</p>

<p>Sweeeetttt...Ap scholar with distinction. Ill take it!</p>

<p>I really wanted National AP Scholar... I didn't take enough AP's, since my school doesn't even offer that many... :( I guess I'll accept AP Scholar with Distinction.</p>

<p>i know some guy in my school who took 13 AP tests last year. anyone else here that crazy?</p>

<p>LOL damn...I topped out at 8 this past year...don't think I'll be taking more than 6 as a senior so yeah that is insane.</p>

<p>13?!
***UX?!
im taking 5 AP classes but tests, im not sure</p>

<p>I will have 14 by end of senior year. Yes, I am clinically insane. haha :D</p>

<p>do ap awards really matter in terms of admissions?</p>

<p>im national ap scholar with 9 5s</p>

<p>If you're a national AP scholar by the time you apply, Im sure it's a great achievement. Obviously it's not going to be the difference between acceptance or rejection, but it can always help.</p>

<p>Just curious...Does CB report how many people get the various awards each year? </p>

<p>If you have a link, I would appreciate it.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>yeah, they do</p>
