<p>I understand that AP scores are not supposed to hurt an applicant, as they are not required; however, will an AP score of a 4 on any exam be "bad" for someone applying to say, Northwestern or Cornell? Should I not report any 4's I got this year?</p>
<p>Always report the 4. Well, <em>maybe</em> if you got a 4 in your intended major, like a 4 in APUSH and you want to be a history major...But, I'd say report the 4. I reported a 3 (rofl) and still got into several Ivies.</p>
<p>not bad at all, but since they're not 5's they will probably neither hurt nor help you</p>
<p>Or you could realize that AP scores have NO effect on admissions, and just leave them off.</p>
<p>i have a question. wouldn't colleges rather pick people who got a 3 or 4 instead of the 5 so the student would still have to take that class and still pay for it?</p>
<p>the reputation of a college is more important than its annual revenue.</p>
<p>No, I'm sure they'd rather pick people with 5's and 4's... I got 5's in my intended major... does this mean I should report my 4's then?</p>
