<p>Will it hurt my chances if Yale sees that I have a 3 on one AP exam? I really messed up on this exam, and it's the only 3 I have. Should I just not include it on my application?</p>
<p>If you’ve enrolled in an AP course and taken the corresponding AP exam, Yale expects you to self-report your AP score. If you don’t, Admissions will assume that you did poorly on the exam. A 3 is a passing grade. I’d report it unless it was an exam for which you self-studied, meaning the course won’t appear on your transcript.</p>
<p>ok, i'll leave it on there</p>
<p>the 3 was in AP Human Geography</p>
<p>my other exams are World History (4), Chemistry (5), Calc AB (5), and Physics B (5) [plus i have 5 more AP's this year, and I plan on taking all those exams]</p>
<p>social science has never been my strong point (and considering the two social science AP exams I've taken aren't 5's and my other exams [math and science], i don't think they'd hold the 3 against me.. i'm just not the best at that kind of stuff)</p>
<p>thanks for the post</p>
