<p>So I can submit three AP scores, and if they are all fives, it'll look just as good as a good SAT score?</p>

<p>This sounds to good to be true. Someone please clear things up.</p>

<p>If I decide to submit three AP scores, I plan to submit AP US History, AP Psychology, and AP World History. Does that satisfy the science and humanities requirements?</p>

<p>No, you need to submit at least one in math or science. I don’t think AP Psych is a science…</p>

<p>For students who choose not to submit SAT or ACT scores, the following tests will satisfy the literature or humanities score requirement:</p>

<pre><code>* Subject Tests: English Literature, US History, World History

  • AP Exams: English Literature, European History, US History, World History
    </code></pre>

<p>For students who choose not to submit SAT or ACT scores, the following tests will satisfy the mathematics or science score requirement:</p>

<pre><code>* Subject Tests: Math Level 1 or 2, Biology, Chemistry, Physics

  • AP Exams: Biology, Calculus AB or BC, Chemistry, Physics B or C
    </code></pre>

<p>so if you submitted sat scores in, could you still send in ap english scores…</p>

<p>It satisfies a minimum requirement. I don’t think it will look very appealing to a school that you chose not to take/send SAT or SAT II’s. It is “okay” with them, but I think it’ll put you at a disadvantage, even if the scores are 5’s. There will be a lot of people who have several AP’s with 4s and 5s in them, in addition to SAT scores.</p>
