<p>Do AP Scholar Awards really stand out on a college application?
I mean, don't a lot of students around the world (or everyone on CC haha) pretty much get them?</p>
<p>Also, how and when do we receive these awards?
Is it via mail? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>^they come out in September. </p>
<p>Most people will eventually get them, but it is not impossible to get into great colleges w/o one. I got into Notre Dame and MIT with only taking one AP junior year. It is something that you could put down though.</p>
<p>i think they send it to you by mail in september…</p>
<p>Do they look good on a college application though?</p>
<p>Well, it certainly wouldn’t hurt! It shows that you are proven in your ability to excel in college-level work. </p>
<p>I’m disappointed they come out in September, actually. I wish they came out sooner so I could mention that in my application without being premature.</p>
<p>Will they help your application if no one else in your school gets one?</p>
<p>^yea it shows that you excel in your current environment and you go above and beyond.</p>
