<p>I'm currently in the process of creating a resume, and I was wondering if it would be acceptable to put AP Scores and other stats on it. In the Awards section, I put AP Scholar with distinction, but should I leave it at that or list the scores as a description?</p>
<p>Also, should I mention my GPA or SAT Scores anywhere, or is that redundant/unprofessional? This will be sent to interviewers before my college interviews, so I'm not sure how much info they have about me already...</p>
<p>bump! I really need an answer; any advice would be helpful…</p>
<p>Colleges vary as to how much info interviewers are given about the students. At my school, we don’t get any info about academics (GPA,rank,test scores) at all, since it is not the interviewer’s job to assess whether the student is academically competitive or not. We are supposed to just learn more about the student as a person and hopefully provide a little more context to their application.
So there is no rule, you can put them down if you want but you don’t have to. I always like having more information rather than less because I am always curious :-)</p>
<p>Yeah, list that stuff, even though IMO there’s no good reason to do so.</p>
<p>Practices may vary from college to college, but assume that the interviewer knows nothing about you other than your name, the high school you attend, and your contact information. That’s what I used to get when I was interviewing for my alma mater.</p>
<p>Some interviewers want information about an applicant’s grades and standardized test scores. I have to say, I don’t know why. (Well, maybe I do. I myself am a nosy, curious person. But they don’t need any of this information, even if some of them think they do.) </p>
<p>The colleges have your transcript and your SAT/ACT/SAT2 scores already. By and large, they don’t need (and won’t care as much about) your AP scores unless you’re enrolling.</p>
<p>The purposes of alumni interviews have nothing to do with GPAs and SATs. The purposes of alumni interviews are to give applicants a chance to reveal something about themselves that wouldn’t have come out in their applications, and to give colleges a chance to represent themselves favorably to students and their families through their alumni.</p>
<p>But, since a lot of alumni think they need this information, and some of them even ask for it, I would go ahead and list it.</p>

<p>A lot downright expect it from my experience. I only listed my senior classes (even though I did list my gpa and whatnot) and one of the interviewers had me list all my courses from last year.</p>
