I put down my 6 AP classes as planned to take the AP test in my UC Application because I did not know in November which I would take.
In March I decided I would only take 3 of them, and on my Cal Central it says I need to submit the scores for all those classes.
How do I inform Berkeley that I will not take those AP Tests? Can they rescind my admission for not taking them?
Anybody?
On the Admissions website, there is a form that you can fill out with a form listing any changes since you submitted your application. Once you submit, there will be an form letter email telling you to wait 5 business days while the matter is being evaluated. They recommend that you not SIR before the evaluation. I emphasize the “form letter” because my kid took a class at his local CC for the Spring Semester that wasnt in the original app and he added the class as a change, but the “advice” was still sent to him.
I don’t think the actual AP score matters, so for $300, why jeopardize things? I would just take the tests, especially if it was in a subject related to your major. It’s just me, I’d rather not rock the boat unless I had to if you know what I mean.
I agree with the previous reply, just take the AP tests as you already paid for it. Maybe you can use it in the future in case anything happens like a major change? Scores won’t matter as much at this point so it shouldn’t be as stressful as well.
@ProfessorPlum168 @AYF9510 I did not sign up for those other 3 AP tests though, they are just showing up on CalCentral
Yeah I guess since you listed the AP classes in the application, the assumption by the school is that you would take the corresponding AP tests as well. I see what you are getting at now.
I’m pretty sure that if you talk to Admissions, they will tell you to submit the change form that I talked about earlier.
@ProfessorPlum168 Will I get rescinded if I don’t fill out the form? Will they just assume I didn’t get a passing grade on it? I’ll probably call them tomorrow and ask.
What’s wrong with just taking all of the AP tests that you originally planned and paid for?
@jeremy_cohrt Look, colleges understand that people have financial difficulties. They’ll assume that you did not have the finances to afford all of those AP tests, because that’s a lot of money. Or they’ll assume that you compared the AP tests to the list of actual AP tests accepted by your major and realized half of those AP tests were useless.
They won’t care and they won’t assume that you failed. You’ll be fine
