AP and Admission

•  
• From the college:
• The Committee on Admission is interested in students who have taken an appropriate level of challenge in their high school curriculum. Advanced Placement courses are an indication of challenge and are looked upon favorably in the review for admission and scholarships. However, it is important that students realize that the Committee does not expect students to take more courses than they can successfully handle just to make their schedule look challenging.
