<p>Hi guys, for this part of the application regarding the "favorite books etc.", is it wise to put only 3-4? The first section asks for "List of books you've enjoyed in the past year. You can put more than one per line". I truly enjoyed a lot of books (im an avid reader), but does putting 3 books/line = 9 books total definitely over doing it? </p>
<p>And with regards to AP scores, we don't need to send in the official report for admissions do we?... I was under the impression they were used primarily for placement purposes and you self report your scores on your Application. Thanks!</p>
<p>1) I'd include the authors, as in "Catch 22 by Joseph Heller, Shalimar the Clown by Salman Rushdie", etc.</p>
<p>2) For actual credit, yeah, you'd send an official AP report after making your decision. However, for admission itself, a bundle of good (read: 4s and 5s) scores can be proof that you understand the material on a deep level and clearly had a successful class experience. In my own case, they probably helped mitigate the fact that my grades were not top-notch, by showing that I really did understand and learn everything (I was just bored in class). So if it's a strong AP report, consider sending it for the admissions decision.</p>
<p>Would it be all right if I didn't include the author for Catch 22, since it is such a well-known novel, but for lesser-known and more modern novels that I've read recently include the author... that way I can squeeze in a few more books?</p>
<p>Hey anuy, i actually fitted 12 books at one point... UNTIl i realized they want to know your "favorites". So i guess its ridiculous to put that much and it probably risks them doubting whether you actually enjoyed... 12 "favorite" books. I'd say they want about 3-4, you can probably get away with 6-7 though. But i certainly wudnt list 10...</p>
<p>My son didn't put any authors down (Catch 22 was on his list, as well as a Stephen Hawking book, and an Al Franken one--that's all I can remember.) He assumed that the admissions folks would recognize them--didn't seem to hurt him to do so.</p>
