Are AP tests worth it if you want to go to Ivies?

<p>Pardon me but i know at least a couple of people with my type of stats that were accepted into Harvard/Princeton/Penn. Then again, these people were first generation/had trauma afflicted to them. The trauma (death of family member) would certainly have been a great essay topic. I believe the reason for my denial is the tone of my essay, which could be construed as cocky. Lorem, are you willing to read it?</p>

<p>I think my stats were more than “fairly decent.”</p>
