<p>This may be a weird question, but I'm just curious. Do top grad schools care about high school achievements like AP scores, etc.? Do they have any effect on admission into top grad school programs in certain fields?
During admission process, certain grad school programs accept high school AP exam credits as prerequisites for certain first-year college courses required by the grad school programs, but other than that, do APs have any other effect?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Definitely don't mention high school AP scores...</p>
<p>your high school career and any grades/test scores associated with it won't play any role in your Grad School applications.
What you will need are excellent college grades,especially in the major area of interest,evidence of research and writing skills,a good grade on the required entrance exam (GRE,LSAT,etc),a well thought out reason for wanting to persue graduate work and the ability to be articulate about it, and excellent recommendations especially from department members.Even college EC's take a background role unless they are associated with what you are applying for.</p>
<p>Nope. I didn't even bother to mention that I graduated high school in three years. No APs, no extracurricular activities, no GPAs, no SAT scores. No longer matters.</p>
<p>Most high schoolers have a hard time believing this, but...</p>
<p>High school stops mattering after you start undergrad.</p>
