<p>I've taken 10 APs with 8 5s and 2 4s till now and will be taking 3 more next May. Does this provide any advantage during the admissions?</p>
<p>well, it makes you a national AP scholar, which definitely cannot hurt your chances, to say the least</p>
<p>So is it just another award like NMSF or Presidential scholar candidate?</p>
<p>PSC > National Scholar > NMSF. </p>
<p>None of them are crazy "omg you're in" awards though. PS candidates are already the cream of the crop though, so the award itself isn't what's gonna get them in, it's the resume that resulted in the award.</p>
<p>I'm NMSF and National AP...</p>
<p>soooo i guess we'll see how that works out for me in a few months!</p>
<p>Yeah I was wondering about National AP Scholars too. You'd think there wouldn't be that many that had the award after junior year. I think I'm the only one at my school that got it this year. Is it helpful though?</p>
<p>I'm sure it is helpful; it'll definitely demonstrate your rigorous course load and your success with AP tests.</p>
<p>As far as I can tell, it's just stating what they already know (that you took a ****-ton of APs). Same as NMSF.</p>
<p>Here's a link to give you numbers, which you can read if your browser can show an Excel spreadsheet file by following a link: </p>
<p>(Otherwise, I think you can use the right-click context menu to download the file and read it off-line.)</p>
<p>How about all of
PSC + National AP Scholar + NMSF together?</p>
<p>you can never have the three of those together, my friend.</p>
<p>presidential scholar happens after you send in your applications.</p>
<p>It is Presidential Scholar Candidate and not Presidential Scholar. I know the PS comes out after the admission decisions.</p>
<p>But candidate technically doesn't come out until january anyway.</p>
<p>I don't think any of those matter much, and that's coming from someone with all three.</p>
