AP National Scholar

<p>So I am reading about AP National Scholar. </p>

<p>I want to be able to put this on a college Application so that means I need to have taken 8 by the time I enter into Senior Year.</p>

<p>If I go as I am now, I will have completed 7 which means I am lacking 1. It is possible for me to sign up for 1 more AP for the spring semester. </p>

<p>So my question is, really, is being a AP National Scholar as a rising Senior very important? Worth the effort of taking 2 APs class online to get it.(Already doing 1 online)</p>

<p>In my state last year, only 82 rising seniors would have achieved this. </p>

<p>If you were me, would the extra 2 APs now (instead of senior year) be worth putting on that College app to make me really stand out? I am looking at top schools like Duke, Upenn. Or is "Scholar with Distinction" good enough?</p>

Nope. It will not make or break your application, or affect it much. They will know that you can handle college-level work, but they already know that since you’ve taken 7 APs BEFORE senior year, which is crazy.

It’s kinda like the SAT: a 1560 will not help you more than a 1550. In AdComms eyes, it’s equal.

I just realized this thread is almost 4 years old. Oh well.
