Do schools care about JUNIOR year AP scores?

Applying to College

<p>I was just wondering- I heard that junior year AP scores( and ap scores in general) don't really mean that much- as in, they don't go into admissions. Would taking an AP class but not taking their AP exam hurt me?</p>

<p>I think that if the college saw you did the AP class and had a spot for AP scores on its application and you did not fill in anything for AP score, this might make it look like it ws not a very rigorous AP class - and if you got an A in the class they might not take it very seriously.</p>

<p>Unless the college was already really familiar with the quality of the AP classes at your school.</p>

<p>I heard they don’t care about the scores but they do care that you take the AP exams. Several college admission books mention this.</p>

<p>@ Columbia and Midwest Mom: That’s what I was afraid of. I didn’t take one of my AP exams because I was ill for a large portion of my second semester Junior Year, and thus, did not feel prepared.</p>

<p>You should state that in the additional information that you were sick. Either that have your counselor write something. Stop worry, these are things you can’t control.</p>
