<p>I was wondering because my AP scores are good, and I would like to know if that can help boost my chances.</p>
<p>Most schools do not weigh in AP scores for admission. For schools that consider AP scores, they would be treated like additional subject tests. So good AP scores may have a little bit help only if you are sitting on the fence and being compared with someone with similar credential.</p>
<p>They’re a validation of your AP grade and, in some circumstances, can add shine. But they can’t make up for a so-so record, for various good reasons.</p>
<p>Ok because on the common app it does not have a place to enter AP test scores so is that something I should put in the additional information box at the end of the application?</p>
<p>There are some schools like Bryn Mawr [Standardized</a> Testing Requirements | Admissions | Bryn Mawr College](<a href=“http://www.brynmawr.edu/admissions/apply/tests.html]Standardized”>http://www.brynmawr.edu/admissions/apply/tests.html) that use AP tests in place of SAT/ACT. Test Flexible.</p>
<p>kyle76 you could also list this in the academic achievement section. </p>
<p>You should also check the schools to see what their AP credit policy is. Getting credit is a totally separate process from admission.</p>
<p>mitchklong…where is the academic achievement section on the common app?</p>
<p>And yes, I’ve already looked to see what schools accept as far as AP credit.</p>
<p>If you say you want to self-report test scores, there’s an option to choose AP tests, and that’s where you can put your scores</p>
<p>The CA absolutely has a place to enter it under the testing section and it is very straight forward. However, you have to tell it the # of AP tests first and then the details open up. Now, obviously, if you are entering “planned” AP exam dates then you would not enter scores.</p>
<p>Must have completely missed that. Wow. Thanks a lot.</p>
