<p>Hey, do any of you konw of any recent or past AP State Scholar Award recipients and exactly how many AP tests they took? The AP State Scholar Award is given one boy and one girl from each state that has taken the most AP exams with an average of at least 3.5. </p>

<p>Also, do any of you konw if the AP State Scholar Award is based on the AP exams that you take from freshman-junior year. Are the senior year AP exams included for the tallying of this award. This is because the other AP awards like National Scholar Awards are based on your scores from freshman-junior year only.</p>

<p>I had a thread on this a couple of years back...sorry, I can't search for it right now, but you can search on my posts and probably recognize it.</p>

3

<p>A big part of it is what state you live in. Some states are uber-competitive, but if you live in a "easy" state, it is much more attainable.</p>

4

<p>Hard states = probably New York, Virginia, Texas, California, Massachusetts, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and some others i forgot.</p>

5

<p>A close friend of mine got it for Florida 2 years ago, I think she kept 10-ish of her scores and got all 5s and one 4. And I'm pretty sure she was notified about winning before her senior scores even came out.</p>

<p>is it just a certificate u get? or is it actually something nice if u win this award?</p>

7

<p>umar99, getting this award, I guess, is very prestigious. It´s a nationally recognized award with only 100 kids in the nation receiving them.</p>

8

<p>This is a little off-topic but is being just an AP Scholar (not national) worth putting on college apps under awards/honors? Or do they already know from your AP score report?</p>

9

<p>yes they would already know but it is worth putting if you have very few awards to write about</p>

10

<p>Anyone know about NC?</p>

11

<p>lol florida is definitely more than 10. kids at my school including myself took 18+ and none of us got it...</p>

12

<p>18+ ap tests. you. are. insane.</p>

13

<p>is it hard to get this award in Nevada...</p>

14

<p>18...jesus....how did you do on them?</p>

15

<p>Hehe, the kid from wyoming last year only took 6 AP tests...at that rate, I could get it, 6 isn't very hard at all</p>

16

<p>lol only six? i took 8 just this year lol</p>

17

<p>I really wish I could have taken more AP exams - I took 14 AP exams with an average of 4.36 ( 6 5s, 7 4s, and 1 3). At the beginning of this year I thought I might have a chance, until looking at threads from CC and realizing there were people that took upwards of 18 AP exams.</p>

<p>Maybe I'll still have a chance, seeing I'm coming from Arkansas, but I highly doubt it.</p>

18

<p>i'd hope you do, being in a state such as arkansas (no offense of course) and taking a whopping 14. I honestly think that although its good to do and shows a lot, at a certain point colleges will think you just cant find better things (like some EC) to do. i wouldnt think it would be a minus, but not a massive plus, past a certain point. of course, i'm no authority on this though, its just my opinion.</p>

19

<p>well considering only 100-102 kids get this award each year, idk, i think it is worth it and not a waste of time, plus you only have to average a 3.5 in all your AP tests</p>

<p>do any of you know how many tests are needed for ap state scholar in vermont?</p>
