AP Tests and Admissions

<p>Has any admissions officer or reputable source ever said that the number of AP tests and the scores on the tests can affect admission to a school? Sure, I could understand them prefering 5's to 1's, but how unimportant is this? Is there any factor that is even less important than this?</p>

<p>I have never head admission's reps say that scores on AP are used in admissions. In fact, they assert that they are not used in admissions.</p>
