<p>In DS’s school, you don’t get the weight of the AP course unless you take the test.</p>
<p>@DJFlash You are not alone. That is what the adcom at Harvard said too. Nevertheless, it would be hard to use AP scores as a main factor in admission as many schools do not offer AP classes and most students do not even take AP exam or they take different AP exam. AP classes should be at the introductory level of college curriculum, so there is no doubt it can predict better the success in college than ACT/SAT.</p>
