<p>do colleges regard the national ap scholar award highly since most people will not have taken that many ap's by senior year?</p>
<p>it's good.........</p>
<p>It's good.</p>
<p>But it's not as good as captain of a Varsity sport, editor of the newspaper, etc etc.</p>
<p>It just means you took a lot of tests and that your school offered the opportunity for you to take the tests.</p>
<p>And that you did well in them</p>
<p>Well if you come from a school that doesn't really offer that many APs and you self studied some to get that award it would look even better.</p>
<p>It's all very subjective... It'll help, but as the post above me said, it really depends on personal circumstances and opportunities.</p>
