<p>How do you know if you received one? According to the criteria, I should have... do we get a certificate or something in the mail or do we just figure it out ourselves, or what?</p>
<p>I believe you get a certificate in the mail around september.</p>
<p>You get a certificate in the mail. I believe my son received his in the fall of his freshman year in college.</p>
<p>u will recieve a certificate in the mail..doesnt really mean anything if from ur senoir year just a little ego boost</p>
<p>I'm thrilled to know that these awards exist, and I'm glad that I'll qualify for the easiest one this year, so that I can at least put that on college applications. However, I'm a little miffed that any awards earned at the end of your senior year won't mean a thing for colleges... but I guess the same goes for ANY awards earned towards the end of 12th grade.</p>
<p>ha yeah i'm going to be a senior so it will sound good on applications to be like an "ap scholar with distiction" i just wanted to make sure i actually would be recognized...</p>
<p>How important is the AP scholar award? Does it mean much? I know there are 7000+ students that receive this distinction.</p>
