<p>I know that many schools allow you to withhold an AP score. MIT seems to ask for it directly. Do i HAFTA put my 3 on APUS?</p>
<p>anybody? anybody?</p>
<p>If you aren't sending them the score, how else would they know? :)</p>
<p>heh heh i just dont want to be interpreted as lying on my app (cuz if you're caught ur SCREWED)</p>
<p>I took the ACT in June, but I'm not sending the score anywhere. I'm gonna ask my school not to send it out. (They may have already sent it to MIT, but I don't care. MIT doesn't ask you to state that you did NOT take the ACT - I just left it blank.)</p>
<p>MIT says to list APs, and then scores if you took the test. if you want AP credit, youll hafta send them a score report eventually and theyll find out about the three. but i mean for harvard and stanford for example, it says listing AP scores is optional.</p>
<p>i don't know how right i am about this, but one can always hope that mit cares less about ap us history than, say, calculus or chemistry or physics or something along those lines. right? =</p>
<p>No offense, but I so hope you're wrong. My school doesn't offer AP's in the maths and sciences until senior year, junior if you skip a year of math. Which I did, but too late for it to have any benefit for my AP's. Plus its college credit, so there's no point.
I only have little ol' English, US Hist and Econ.</p>
<p>Haha, yes. The only tests we're really encouraged to go for at my school (even if the class is labeled "AP" and the instruction/class itself is excelltn) are english/history/humanities. I mean, I had Calc AB last year, and I was thinking about taking the test, but when I asked my teacher for advice she said, "Whaaaat. No. Why would you take it? Take it next year." Meaning BC. Heh, oh well. </p>
<p>That being said, it's not like you got a 1 on it. A 3 is "passing", and on the U.S History test that's pretty darn good. I don't think they'll say, "Well, this kid's on the brink... we just don't know... but here's this pathetic 3... yeah, dump the kid, he isn't up to snuff for MIT." and I KNOW they won't say, "Wow, this kid has all the right stuff for MIT. But there's this little matter of the 3... WE DON'T TAKE KINDLY TO THREES AT MIT. REJECTED!!!!1"</p>
<p>nod. erebor - we're not able to take any ap's until junior year, simply because ap classes have so many prerequisites most people can't qualify until then.</p>
<p>but i don't think it should matter anyway, in the long run. as my chem teacher liked to remind us time after time in april/may, supposedlyyyy ap scores aren't supposed to be a factor in the admissions decision. :p</p>
