<p>Hey Guys,</p>

<p>so i realized a couple weeks ago that I qualified for the AP Scholar Award because of the three ap tests I took: Bio (4), World (5) and Calc BC (5). </p>

<p>Now I know usually this doesn't really mean much, but I was wondering if you guys thought it might be different and more useful to put on my app because my school only offers 4 APs. And those are spanish, french, calc ab and stats--which are all electives for seniors--however because I skipped a math class I was in AP Calc AB. </p>

<p>So would this be useful to put on my apps?</p>

<p>I don’t think it would give that much leverage to your application, but it couldn’t hurt.</p>

<p>Definitely put it on your app.</p>

<p>AP Scholar is something worth mentioning on your apps, though depending on where you apply, it might not amount to much.</p>

<p>^Agreed.
In your situation, it is a pretty prestigious award though colleges may not see it as such.</p>

<p>It couldn’t hurt, so you might as well just put it down.</p>

<p>^ haha well I guess it won’t really help too much then considering the fact that I’ll be applying to yale, penn and others of that caliber.</p>

<p>I guess it doesn’t really hurt though</p>

<p>Haha, I go to a school that offers like 20-something APs and I’m still putting National AP Scholar on my app…so yeah, you should definitely put yours too.</p>

<p>I doubt anybody has so many awards better than an AP Scholar Award that no room is left on the app for AP Scholar. So, just put it on your application; it won’t hurt.</p>
