<p>On the MIT application form, there are 12 slots to write down the AP courses you took and are taking. Well I have a total of 14 AP classes. What should I do about this? Can I list the 12 I did best on or the most recent ones first?</p>
<p>Yes, you can do either of those things.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply.</p>
<p>Well, is it fine to list an AP course which I have not taken the exam for yet over a course I already took the exam in (because of the low score)?</p>
<p>yeah. I would list your best ones (5 and 4s) first , since you have a LOT of them and then list the one you plan to take next May.
List them with the oldest ones first probably helps the admissions officer to see your progression of classes or something.</p>
<p>It doesn't really matter that much since they are going to get a report of your AP scores anyways in July if you get in. And don't worry, colleges won't rescind people for having bad AP scores as long as you don't lie about them.</p>
<p>If, for example, you did badly on an AP exam, you wouldn't be required to report it, right? Would you want to still list it as a class you took and just not put a score next to it?</p>
<p>If you are admitted and matriculate, College Board will send your entire set of AP scores to MIT. They are used at that time to determine placement in the GIRs. On an application, they're used to put the rigor of your high school classes into context. I think it would be a mistake to "selectively" report only the tests on which you did really well.</p>
<p>My son had taken or was taking 17 AP's (some on his own) when he applied last year. He abbreviated many to squeeze them in (i.e. "AP Chem/Calc/Psy" 07-08). For other schools, he sent in an addendum with a table of tests and scores.</p>

<p>Same question... is that acceptable?</p>
<p>If there are no instructions on the application to the contrary, you are free to put the twelve AP scores of your choice on the application. You could consider neuron39's son's route and send a supplemental page listing all of your scores, or you could let your transcript speak for yourself.</p>
<p>I have the same problem. Also, how do you find out on what exact day you took (or are taking) the tests? The schools im applying to ask for the day month and year. Very annoying.</p>
<p>o.o holy geez.
and people at my school called me out of my mind for taking 6 of them last year</p>
