<p>So I got deferred, but I found out today that my APs weren't put on my transcript and realized that I didn't write anything about it on the app.</p>
<p>1) What do you think Dartmouth assumed? That I slacked off and didn't take any APs, that I did badly and decided not to put them, or that a mistake happened?</p>
<p>2) Would the fact that I took APs make a difference and possibly allow me to get accepted? Here's what I got:</p>
<p>5 in Calc BC
5 in US Hist
5 in Chem
5 in Bio
5 in Comp Sci (self-studied)</p>
<p>Moral of the story is: Make sure to check your transcript before applying. My counselor also wrote that I got a 740 on the chem SAT II when I got a 780. D'oh!</p>
<p>Yeah, I know. I was just highlighting the fact that conselors tend to make mistakes. My high SATs were probably the only thing that kept me from being rejected outright.</p>
<p>Yes, the APs should go on the transcript. My counselor, however, neglected to do it. I don't know whether it's my fault or his, to be honest. I'm leaning towards the latter because it makes me feel better.</p>
<p>edit: Or do colleges check with the College Board?</p>
<p>wow...you have really good ap scores...i think they should definetly help you.....have you seen the thread "deferred and admitted...here's how!" bc it gives really good advice about what to do if you're deferred. Good luck and don't give up!</p>
<p>Not all HS add AP scores to the transcript - ours doesn't. You should immediately pay the fees and have the CB send them or make sure that your GC gets them in the mail in time for RD processing, and do check out that other thread. </p>
<p>All SAT2 and SAT1 scores go together upon last test, but AP scores have to be sent under separate request.</p>
<p>im curious but what distinguishes someone to become a member or a junior member? im sure it's not the # of posts, because cangel has 350 and is still not a junior member.</p>
<p>Grades top scores in the admissions process. Grades and rigor of the curriculum are the number one factors used in the admissions process. If you have 5 on your AP's and don't have comprable grades in the classes, submitting the AP socres are not going tohelp your cause.</p>
<p>You state that your grades are laughable, so if your grades are not consistent with your scores, the school sees that you are smart (or atleast you test well) and you are just not applying yourself. Instead of sending the AP scores, I beleive that your focus should be getting stellar scores so that when you send the mid year report, your grades are more aligned with your scores. If you can get additional recommmedations attesting to your improvement in the classroom that will help you more than mailing in your Ap scores</p>
<p>Well, I was talking about my grades in general, and I guess I made a bit of a hyperbole. I got an A- in chem and bio and B+ in hist and calc so I should be fine in those. My GPA is a 4.17 W, though, although with an upward trend. I'm taking the hardest courseload possible.</p>
<p>By "laughable" I meant more in terms of getting my hopes up for getting into Dartmouth.</p>
<p>sybbie, you made an interesting point. I have similar situation, the grades are going up in senior year. who do I ask to give me an updated rec for my improved grades? I am also taking 5 APs in senior year. Pls advise. when shoild send this rec?</p>
