How much do APs matter?

<p>I was accepted to Cornell early decision, and since then I have been mainly focusing on my extracurricular acitivities and my grades have dropped a bit. Also, I have not really studied much for my APs? Do APs really matter?
Is it possible for someone to get rejected for doing horrible on APs?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure you don’t have to submit those AP’s if you don’t want to. Someone check me on that. </p>

<p>Just remember to keep learning and retaining as much as you can. It’s not so much the grade as it is what you can get out of each class. Remember that and the grade will come along with the knowledge.</p>

<p>APs don’t matter since you are already accepted. but studying for them can help you get credit which can allow you a bit more flexibility in your schedule.</p>
