SUMMARY

Colleges assess senior year AP results through updated transcripts submitted by students after graduation. Students report their AP scores directly to the colleges they apply to, ensuring that admissions committees have access to the most current academic performance. This process allows colleges to consider the entirety of a student's academic record, including senior year courses and scores, despite the timing of AP exams at the end of the school year.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Advanced Placement (AP) program
  • Familiarity with college admissions processes
  • Knowledge of transcript submission procedures
  • Awareness of how AP scores impact college applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the process of submitting AP scores to colleges
  • Learn about the significance of updated transcripts in college admissions
  • Explore the role of AP exams in college credit and placement
  • Investigate how different colleges evaluate senior year performance
USEFUL FOR

High school students preparing for college applications, guidance counselors, and parents seeking to understand the impact of senior year AP courses on college admissions.

I see people say they get 5's on their AP classes their senior year. The exam for the class is at the end of the year and you apply for college in the fall. How do colleges know what you take your senior year and what you got, if the school year isn't over. Do they just ignore the last semester?

I accidently posted this in the wrong section, meant to put it in Academic and Career Guidance. Sorry.

you report your scores to the school you have chosen to attend.

i also believe that the school will ask to see an updated transcript after you have graduated.
