<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>I'm a rising senior and I took 4 AP's so far in high school, but I realized I needed one higher for the distinction award - I think I'm gonna get the honor award. Is the difference important? Do these awards mean a lot in college admissions? Cause I mean if I really wanted to I could have taken another AP and tried to pass that?</p>
<p>So many people get w/ honor or w/ distinction that it doesn’t really matter much. But I guess it doesn’t hurt to have them.</p>
<p>No not really. However, the fact that you have APs before senior year, you should take some AP classes in your senior year. Otherwise, the college may think you’re ‘slack off.’</p>
<p>The awards do not matter that much.</p>
<p>They don’t matter, a college would most certainly would prefer the student who took 4 APs and got all 5’s, than someone who took 8 APs and gots 3’s and 4’s.</p>
<p>The Siemens one (and maybe the State, National, etc ones) are noteworthy, but the others are whatever.</p>
<p>haha thanks guys - mhm im taking 4 or 5 senior year</p>
