Hey, I'm a senior in high school who just finished college apps. I'm taking 8 AP courses currently and so naturally, signed up for all 8 AP exams. I'm extremely stressed about them but I already indicated that I would be taking those exams in my application. Would I be negatively affected in the application process if I cancel some of those exams?

They probably will not care. They will get more money from you in taking more courses. On the other hand, if you don't graduate or have a significantly different GPA from pre-admission then you may find your admission rescinded.

Explanation:

You'll want to have good reasons for missing the tests. Nevertheless, if missing the tests causes you to not pass a required class, then yes, the college would rescind your application or if this causes significant reduction in your grades, the college would considered that, too. If you don’t do what your application said you were going to do, they can rescind your admission. In California, it’s very common for the universities to do that.

like many students at university, you may be unhappy about the results you attain in exams. you may feel that even with all you are doing there must be something more -- or different-- you could be doing to get better grades. we have all at some time or other heard of that student who only studies a couple of hours for final exams and scores a's every time. we stand in awe of those who seem to breeze through without undue effort and seem to need very little in the way of studying to nail an exam. the reasons for success, in what i think are the vast majority of cases, are less esoteric than many students think: successful students consistently apply a series of productive strategies with view to attaining clearly identified learning and grade goals throughout the academic term.
