how much would this help (ivies)?

Applying to College
1

<p>National AP Scholar Award by the end of junior year (which I will get IF I don't get more than two 3s on this year's AP exams) + IB diploma candidate. Obviously, nothing these days guarantees admission. Just curious how impressive this will be in Ivy admissions, if the colleges couldn't care less, etc. thanks =)</p>

2

<p>Who cares? It's a sports division...</p>

3

<p>Because the AP curriculum is being pushed down people's throats, lots of kids will be AP Scholars. Even AP scholars with distinction.</p>

<p>I'd say that the IB diploma is much more impressive.</p>

4

<p>Both are very impressive.</p>

5

<p>National AP scholar as in 6 APs? or is it 7? that's impressive for a junior.</p>

6

<p>It is 8 actually with 4.0 average. I had 15 passed exams but my average was slightly below the required so I didn't get it after junior year.</p>
