Did you send your ap scores to the schools as a part of the application process. I know I asked this question earlier and a couple others did, but its easier to hear it from someone who's gone through the admissions process. Was there a space on your app for the ap scores? If not, did the school directly request for you to send them, or did you do it out of your own free will? Please respond.

I sent them on my own free will since I received the AP Scholar Award my junior year. I didn't send them just to send them, it also supported my 3-page professional resume. My school only offers 3 AP courses, and showing colleges I took over the amount (7 total) they offer and performing well on the exams proves one thing--I'm a serious student that excels in his environment. Colleges do look for "strivers."

If you did well on them, mention that in your resume or just send you #1 college the AP score results.

depends, the chicago app doesn't have that space. although i got into chicago, i was stupid and didn't put my AP eng lit and lang scores (4 on each) and didn't put my IB standard econ score on that i got last yr (6) ... still got in, but make sure you put em in, it may push you in or out. granted my AP scores weren't that great, i'm doing the full IB diploma and am doing my exams right now. if there's no space, attach an extra sheet and make sure you mention that you have an extra sheet they need to look at!
