1/8/2009
Twenty-eight members of the Classes of 2008 and 2009 have been named Advanced Placement (AP) Scholars by the College Board in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the college-level AP Examinations.
Approximately 18 percent of the more than 1.5 million high school students who took the AP exams in May 2008 performed at a sufficiently high level to merit such recognition. The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on the number of yearlong courses and exams. AP exams are graded on a scale from one to five, with five as the highest level.
Ten graduates of the Class of 2008 qualified for the AP Scholar with Distinction Award by earning grades of three or above on five or more AP exams with an average of at least 3.5. They are Sophia D’Ignazio, a first-year at Barnard College; Samantha Simmons, a freshman at Georgetown University; Michaela LaVan, a first-year at Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Lynne Dzubow and Jill Greenfield, both freshmen at Washington University; Ilana Glassner and Monika Wasik, both freshmen at the University of Pennsylvania; and Ameena Schelling, Bailey Sperry and Andrea Oliva, all freshmen at Princeton.
Four grads and four current seniors qualified for the Scholar with Honor Award by earning grades of three or above on four or more AP exams with an average of at least 3.25. The grads include Alison DiCiurcio, a freshman at Harvard College; Natania Field, a freshman at Columbia University; Alysa Frost, a freshman at Rice University; and Danielle Niu, a first-year at Haverford College.
The seniors are Allison Hume, Alexandra Ibarguen, Arianne Wenk and Marielle Young.
Ten students, including six grads, qualified for the AP Scholar Award by completing three or more exams with grades of three or higher. The grads are Heather Bernstein, a first-year at Brandeis University; Haley Pearlstein, a freshman at George Washington University; Lauren Stern, a first-year at Swarthmore College; Morgan Tancredi, a freshman at Vanderbilt University; Maryam Witte, a freshman at Davidson College; and Aviel Worrede-Mahdi, a freshman at Dartmouth College.
The current seniors who qualified are Emily Acker, Alessandra Cardi, Seulah Choi and Zoe Cunningham. |
