AP Diplomas

AP diplomas, such as the National AP Scholar, require many AP exams with good scores (for this one, it would be at least a 4 on 8 exams). i know that some people don<code>t complete their AP diploma until they graduate from high school. but by then, almost all students have sent in their applications before that, so would it mean that they weren</code>t able to put this on their college application (when those who completed it before senior year were able to)?

so basically, some students wouldn`t be able to show colleges that they were working towards an AP diploma - is that correct?

i hope that made some sense.
