<p>Ok so basically, the best testing results I've gotten on anything were my APs. I got a 5 on AP Chemistry, Englsih language comp and US History. I'm proud, but they dont seem comparable to my 2150 sat score. Basically what I'm wondering is, are my scores even noteworthy to competitive schools? and do colleges really even care that i took them or are they just some supplemental stuffing?</p>
<p>I'm no expert but if I were an admissions counselor i would regard some one with solid 5's with great respect because those tests show real dedication as opposed to random knowledge and your mood one particular day.</p>
<p>I know Middlebury college allows you to create your "best test profile." This can include AP exams.</p>
<p>Colleges usually hold the AP tests with higher regard than with the SAT.</p>
<p>A lot depends on the college. I would definately have scores sent to schools for admissions, but not all schools will necessarily consider the scores for admissions. Look at it this way: our admissions counselor told us that good scores can help you. If someone has not scored very well, then would not recommend sending scores as part of admissions application.</p>
<p>My D's took four AP course in her junior year and scored: Chem-5 CalculusBC-5 EnglishLang:4 SpanishLit:4. During that year she got two Bs in AP English class and two Bs in AP Spanish Literature. The overall GPA then dropped from 3.96 to 3.85. When top colleges review her applications, will an AP score of 4 help her in someway ?</p>
<p>I believe that most colleges look upon anything less than 4s and 5s as not acceptable. In other words, if you were to use AP credit, most colleges accept 4s for credit. Check each specific college. As to whether it could help in admissions, probably so. Again, check the requirements for each college of interest, if 4s are accepted as credit, then I would think that it could help with regard to admissions.</p>
<p>Actually, most colleges accept 3s. It's only the top schools that accept only 4s and 5s.</p>
<p>so we dont have to send our ap scores?!</p>
