<p>Scores will definitely help! They’ll definitely understand about the lack of APs. I know I took 3 AP Courses online, on my own, etc. They love to see the EC’s, I think. They want well-rounded students. Volunteerism is key as well… make sure that you show yourself as a whole, show that you are more than test scores and a GPA. Also, they’ll like to know that you want to make the most of your college experience and get involved with their opportunities to serve, etc.</p>
