@skieurope “AP scores carry little to no weight in the admissions process”
I see that sentiment a lot, but at top admissions offices it just isn’t true. With top applicants AP scores do matter a fair amount. I can refer you to the “ask the Dean” column on the subject on this site for confirmation. I also watched a video yesterday from a woman who used to be in admission at Stanford and for every single applicant she remarked on how many APs they had and what their score was.She spent more time talking about APs than GPAs.
With top applicants schools are looking for anything to set the students apart and AP scores are one of those items.
