<p>First post here, after some time reading through the forum. I received a 3 on my AP Stats exam in May (junior year), and got 5s on both Lang and Comp and US History. I was wondering if it would hold back my application somewhat to schools such as Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, and Bucknell when I apply in a few months.</p>
<p>I only ask because I received a 94 in the class and got my letter of recommendation from the teacher who taught the course. I go to a strong public school that traditionally sends around 10 kids to Ivies every year. I am only concerned with including my 2 5s in the Common App, and potentially having colleges think I scored worse than a 3 on the Stats exam, or have them think a 3 is too low a score.</p>
<p>AP scores don’t count towards admission. They are only counted as to receive credit for the class once admitted. But the 94% in AP Stats is wonderful and will help your application. The answer can’t be yes if you don’t apply so always apply to that dream school.</p>
<p>Unfortuantly the 3 colleges you mentioned will not accept the Stats credit but a 3 is a passing score according to tthe College Board and most colleges. If you don’t report they can assume you got a 1. I would submit everything.</p>
