<p>Does self-studying APs have an impact on whether or not you admitted? Specifically to Ivy League schools.</p>

<p>^ I read the first couple pages of the thread but it all seems to be about whether or not you should report your low scores…no mention of s-s</p>

<p>I did read the MIT articles though…very interesting! Anthony’s story was simply incredible</p>

<p>it depends what school. an ivy isn’t going to be as impressed as a state school.</p>

<p>I don’t think it will ultimately determine the college’s decision; while AP exams can be taken into consideration during the admissions process, they are mostly just used for placement</p>
