Is it better to exceed the SAT II requirements or meet them?

<p>By the way, I'll be taking 5 APs next year so... I don't think I can fit any more APs onto my list. Also, if you self-study for an AP (without taking the class) and then you recieve a bad score, is there anyway to not let colleges see your score? </p>

<p>Also, I've checked the UC website on their online applications. Do most colleges now have online apps? What is the "common app" and why do people use it? Is it better to send online applications or typed paper applications? Have any of you ever encountered problems with online apps? </p>

<p>Thanks again.</p>
