<p>I’m applying for early decision and I was wondering if Amherst considers AP scores (because I heard some schools dont). If they don’t consider them, then sending the scores would be a total waste of money! I think I read somewhere that they do, but I just wanted to make sure :)</p>
<p>For placement, not for credit toward graduation.</p>
<p>(Bio, Chem, Econ, languages, Math, Psych–though, not Physics, because there are honors introductory courses that prospective majors should take)</p>
<p>The typical student must take at least 32 courses to graduate, and he or she must be enrolled at the college as a student for 8 semesters/4 years.</p>
<p>I think the OP is wondering if they consider AP scores when making admissions decisions. Not sure though. In any case, june bug, I think you can just self-report them if you want on your application. It’s not necessary to send them official scores just as part of an admissions app.</p>
<p>That’s what I think anyway, but I’m no expert.</p>
<p>Ah, I was responding to the topic title.</p>
<p>Yes, self-report the scores on your application.</p>
<p>You can send them electronically, or even present a physical copy of the score report, after you’ve been admitted.</p>
