<p>Yeah I don’t know exactly how it works with reporting AP tests. I most certainly do not want to list it when I apply. I actually regret it a lot. I aced the class and just took the test like it was a joke and it wouldn’t matter what I got. But thanks again for your opinion, it is appreciated.</p>

<p>ps. I was talking about UPenn</p>

<p>Interesting, I was actually thinking U VA would be a safer bet than a couple of the others. But I do hear they have a pretty competitive Astronomy/Astrophysics program. On a couple of these, I know of people that graduated before me with far inferior stats. But who knows how they decide on who gets in. </p>

<p>BTW- My family income will probably be around $115,000 this year, will that hurt my admission chances?</p>
