<p>To get into Ivy league schools do they want to see only 5's on the AP exams??? assuming your SAT scores and GPA are in line for the Ivy league schools.</p>
<p>Accepted scores are usually listed on each schools admissions page.</p>
<p>accepted scores for AP exams are not listed on admission pages. or at least I never remember seeing this.</p>
<p>Kajon: you do mean by accepted scores, the scores they will accept for undergraduate credit at a particular school, correct?</p>
<p>It was my understanding that AP scores self reported during the admissions process are a tiny spec on the decision making rubric. A lot of times AP scores reflect the teaching vs. the student so I don’t think a 4 is going to kill anyone’s chances if the rest of the profile is Ivy caliber.</p>
<p>I don’t think the 4 on the AP Exam negatively weights an application nearly as much as all of the EC’s, GPA, SATs, and overall application.</p>
<p>I would say don’t stress if you got a 4, as long as you have mostly 5s they’re probably less likely to care.</p>
<p>Thanks guys!</p>
<p>You will have been admitted long before your senior year scores show up.
If your sophomore and junior year AP scores are 4’s and 5’s, I think you are in great shape.</p>
<p>GMABCD - Yes I meant scores they will accept for credit OR to allow you to skip over the intro course.</p>
<p>Okay…if accepted scores are not listed on the admissions pages, then they are listed somewhere on the website because I have found them on just about every site I have visited. Here is the listing for Princeton:</p>
<p>[AP</a> Credit Reference Table - Advanced Placement and Advanced Standing](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/pub/ap/table/index.xml]AP”>http://www.princeton.edu/pub/ap/table/index.xml)</p>
<p>Wash St. Louis - Advanced Placement</p>
<p>Most departments at Washington U. will accept for credit and placement a score of 4 or 5 on the College Board’s Advanced Placement (AP) tests or a score of 5 or better on the higher-level International Baccalaureate (IB) exams. Official score reports should be sent to the appropriate dean’s office after admission has been granted. No credit is granted for CLEP exams, standard-level IB exams, correspondence work, or departmental placement exams given by another institution.</p>

<p>etc…</p>
<p>Here’s Yale’s table:</p>

<p>My sense was Yale cared more about rigor: the student had taken AP courses early and often if they were offered at the high school, and got A’s in them. I can’t even remember if there was a way to report AP scores on the application. Somehow I don’t think so… The AP score sheet WAS needed for placement once kid arrived at school.</p>
<p>They’ll be more concerned with the grade you got in the overall course then what you got on the exam, as long as you got a high score. Of course, a 5 would be better than a 4 but a 4 is not going to sink you provided you got A’s in your AP classes.</p>
<p>My d got all 5’s on her AP’s and it didn’t seem to matter for the colleges.</p>
<p>My daughter had taken four AP tests at the time she applied to colleges. She got 3 5s and a 4 and reported all four scores.</p>
<p>She got into an Ivy.</p>
<p>D1 was just telling me about a brilliant kid from her school who several years ago was admitted to all the tippy-top names. His AP scores lined up with his areas of interest: 5’s on the humanities/social sciences tests, 3’s for math and science, with a 1 on the Physics B test for good measure. He’s at Harvard. </p>
<p>That said, there were other factors in his application that showcased his academic strengths.</p>
