National AP Scholar

<p>^I believe so.</p>

<p>The National AP Scholar award notification goes to your high school, ryanxing. I don’t think colleges are notified at all. You will not send your AP scores (an official report) until after you have selected your college in the spring of your senior year. This may sound silly when you are trying to figure out exactly what will help make your applications stand out, but the cost of sending official reports really starts to mount if you send AP and SAT reports to every school plus you pay an application fee. Save the AP report money.</p>

<p>However, on your college applications, there is usually a space to list academic honors and that is where you can list any AP Scholar honors.</p>

<p>I realise that being international makes the International AP Scholar Award a bit more prestigious.</p>

<p>^^ On which application will there be an “honor” box? The common app or individual schools’ apps?</p>

<p>If I use CollegeBoard’s AP score report, do I send all my scores or can I choose?</p>

<p>Ryanxing, I don’t remember specifically which applications had what categories. It’s ben a couple of years and I didn’t fill them in. If there isn’t a specific space for academic honors, I think most applications have a “what else do you want us to know” space. </p>

<p>I don’t know if you can choose scores on the AP report.</p>

<p>

You really only have to use the CB’s AP Score Report when you send your scores to the college where you will be matriculating, so you can get credit/placement. On the Common App, you can self-report your scores, so you don’t have to send in all of your scores. If you’re using a school’s individual app, just look over it to see what it is asking for.</p>

<p>MD MOM, when are the high schools notified of any awards?</p>

<p>AP Scholars are notified in the fall. I do not remember exactly when. However, you can determine whether you will get a scholar designation by going to the College Board site and reading the specifications. If your school is not notified, make sure that you do not have more than one file. DD had used her SS# one year and not the next, so she had two files.</p>

<p>Also, I was wrong about colleges being notified. If you designate a college when you take the AP test, the scores are sent at the same time they are sent to you and your high school.</p>

<p>QUESTION!
So I thiink I might be a National AP Scholar, but I’m kind of on the border with the confusing footnotes about Calc AB and Music Theory…my scores thru the years: US 4, Euro 5, Bio 5, US Gov 4, Calc AB 5, Physics 4, Music Theory 5 (on both sections, aural and nonaural), Literature 5, Spanish 4…so am I a Nat. AP Scholar??
THANKS! :)</p>

<p>yeah you are. congrats. (the requirement is that you have at least 8 4’s or 5’s not including subscores provided by the calc bc or the music theory tests, and that the average score of all the AP tests you have taken is at least a 4.0)</p>

<p>yep^

<p>Is my Ds high school the only one that automatically lists all AP, ACT and SAT II scores directly on the transcript? We weren’t even given an option to hide them.</p>

<p>^^Our public high school sticks the SAT sticker with the scores right on the transcript.</p>
