I took advanced placement courses in high school. What role do these courses play in the admissions decision?
A. Advanced Placement courses are regarded favorably by the admissions committee only if the applicant has taken or plans to take the advanced placement examination for that course. Advanced Placement courses provide a national standard for comparison of college-bound high school students and students who do well on these exams are generally successful in the Honors Program. Good grades in advanced placement courses do not always correspond to success on the exams, and hence are not as useful for predicting success in the Honors Program.
