<p>Hi I’d just like to know if Brown would consider sending late SAT scores in. The preferred SAT 1 test to send was november according to the rep I talked to, but you think they would consider a december SAT even though it’s still extremely late?</p>
<p>The SAT I submitted was the October one, M700, V570 or 1270
The SAT I I wanna submit was from December, M 760, V630 or 1390</p>
<p>i'm sending a january SAT so i sure hope they consider it - they havent started reading apps yet anyway</p>
<p>also- does anyone know how to send AP scores?</p>
<p>It says on the application that January scores are the last date to be considered. </p>
<p>AP Scores are usually included with your high school transcript that the guidance office sends (at least that's what my GC told me when I asked).</p>
<p>Only some high schools include AP scores on their transcript... not everyone does that.</p>
<p>I was under the impression that most schools only want to see your AP scores after you get accepted and you decide to actually go there. I went to the Brown website again and I can't seem to find anything on this topic.</p>
<p>I don't think sending AP scores is necessary. The only reason I can think of (esp since Brown doesn't really take AP credit) is if you did badly in the class and want to prove that you know the material.</p>
<p>That's good to hear, Rabo. :) (I never bothered with sending mine, either)</p>
<p>Most AP scores of 4 or 5 will determine your placement in classes at Brown, but they won't give you credits for them. The English Dept. doesn't accept AP English scores for placement, though, so you should all save your money by not taking it in May. All others are fair game, I believe.</p>
<p>I think AP scores are far more important to show than SATs. I mean I know that when I can barely break 600 on the verbal SAT yet still get a 5 on the AP Lang exam, I realize that the SATs are bull. So, I think a lot more weight should be put on the AP exams themselves.</p>
<p>The thing is, not everyone's school offers the same APs, or any APs at all. Some have IB, some have honors, some have none. On the other hand, everyone can take SATs and SAT IIs with just normal high school courses.</p>
<p>thejuiceisback, I think that it is for precisely what you just said (getting 600 on verbal sat and get a 5 on ap language) that makes colleges want to also see your SAT scores. Different tests in the same subject area can verify if you got a great score because you really did know your material, or because you were lucky. And vice versa.</p>
<p>For example, it's much easier to get a 5 on an AP test than a 800 on a SAT test because AP is more lenient with scores and can only give out 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5s. Whereas the SAT has a much LARGER scale that goes by tens all the way up to 800. It's more precise, each time you get a SAT question wrong, your score probably drops 10 points or so, depending on the test. However, for AP, sometimes you can get half of the test wrong and still pass with a 3.</p>
<p>Anyway, the verbal SAT and whatever ap language test you took probably tests different things. So just because you got a score you didn't like doesn't mean the "SATs are bull."</p>
<p>Rabo: really? cuz when I took tests like u.s. history and biology, I know for certain that my high school honors classes wouldn't have been enough to prepare me. </p>
<p>thejuiceisback: I think that when colleges see a discrepancy like that, they'll probably think that you're strong in analysis of literature, but not so great at correcting sentence errors and the like.</p>
<p>aster: My school didn't offer APs in 2 of the 3 SATIIs I took. Just regular non-honors courses. I will admit, I didn't do stellarly, but I did fairly well (ranging 670-770). I really don't think it'd be fair to have everyone submit AP scores. I would have only been able to submit 2, and that probably would have put me at a disadvantage to those who can take like 10. I dunno, I just think SATIIs are more available to the masses.</p>
<p>I agree with Rabo, SATs are simply more consistent in the sense that they're available for everyone to take. </p>
<p>And also, aster, thejuice said 600 on the verbal SAT, not on the writing sat. So why would colleges think thejuice was strong in analysis of literature? The verbal SAT is about critical reading passages, analogies, and sentence completion... not about correcting sentence errors.</p>
<p>ah, whoops. read that wrong. I just naturally assumed she was comparing an SAT II to an AP.</p>
