National AP Scholar

Applying to College

<p>is the national AP scholar (take 8 or more ap tests with average of 4) recognition significant for college apps?</p>

2

<p>yes, especially if you're ale to claim so at the time of your application, having taken 8 tests when a junior or earlier.</p>

3

<p>Having taking 8 exams before you have finished senior year is always an impressive feat.</p>

4

<p>Anyone have any idea of how much weight it can carry?</p>

<p>The colleges that care about such issues will mostly be looking at your AP scores themselves. </p>

<p>National AP scholars before college application season number in the hundreds nationally, as I recall, so it's not a lock on admission, but it's persuasive evidence you're ready for college courses.</p>
