<p>My D forgot to put in the AP exams she will be taking, and only listed the ones she took. The AP courses would be listed on the SSR form. Does she need to send an e-mail to Admissions to explain the omission?</p>
<p>I just checked my S's application and he too didn't put down the exams he will take in the future. I guess I wouldn't have given it much thought until now, but I am thinking you could put down you're going to take them but by the time it comes around to actually take them you will have already either been admitted or denied AND sent in your deposit so I don't see the point of saying what you'd take in the future. You know? Your transcript will list the classes your D is taking and so... maybe it's assumed they'll take the AP that goes along with that? At our school, we don't have AP Us History or AP Euro, but a lot of kids end up taking the AP exams (and doing well) regardless of the class name. I can see how that might benefit from mention, but if D has taken AP exams for all AP classes she's taken thus far, I would think any future AP's would be taken as well. Maybe? :)</p>
<p>My D's school requires that if you take an AP course, the exam has to be taken as well. I just don't know if the school provides the info regarding that requirement when it sends in the SSR.</p>
<p>I got a copy of our school profile and it clearly points out about the AP US and Euro exams (i.e., not classes offered, but kids taking the exams). So I MIGHT guess your school makes mention of this in their school profile. In any event, she has taken every exam for which she has taken an AP class, so it looks like a good assumption to me. The other option would be to have her counselor make mention of this very small and relatively insignificant detail in the midyear report. I can see that it would fit well within that context as well.</p>
<p>I can say with authority that neglecting to place planned AP tests on the common application will have zero impact on the decision. Most applicants don't put planned tests down.</p>
<p>Thanks Dan. You are always so helpful.</p>
