Advance Placement (AP)

The UW Bothell applauds students who chose Advanced Placement (AP) courses as part of their high school curriculum. These courses are challenging and demanding, and we believe they provide excellent preparation for university study.

Contact the College Board and request that scores be sent to the UW Bothell Office of Admissions. When you are admitted to UW Bothell, you may be eligible for UW Bothell credit; if so, information about courses and credit awards will be accessible to you via MyUW. To ensure that your AP scores match up with your UW Bothell academic record, be sure to identify your name and Social Security Number with the College Board in the exact same way you identify, or expect to identify, yourself on your UW Bothell application.

The school code to send test scores is 4467.
