Ap Score Help!!

<p>I posted this on the AP Test Prep section but I thought I may get a better response from you helpful parents afterwards so please help!</p>

<p>So when I took my AP US History exam, I chose to have it sent to Pepperdine (my number 1 choice of college) figuring that I would probably do well on it. However, I completely forgot that by filling Pepperdine in that my AP Bio score would be sent as well. Problem= I know I failed my AP Bio Exam like I got a 1 because I didn't know any of it when I took it (long story crappy teacher blah blah) And I had to cancel the score before June 15 - too late!</p>

<p>AM I DOOMED??</p>

<p>Ughh I can't believe I even chose to send my scores I'm so mad!</p>

<p>Note: I got all 90s in my report grades for AP Bio but my teacher really did suck! We only covered evolution! I know I should've self studied more but so much was going on and it's too late to change now anyway. </p>

<p>:( :( :(</p>

<p>Scores are out, what did you end up getting in Bio?</p>

<p>At this point, it's too late to not have your scores sent to Pepperdine. The deadline was sometime in mid June.</p>

<p>Why would you think you are doomed? From everything I've read, schools don't use AP scores in their admissions decisions.</p>

<p>They don't care about AP scores. AP scores are only used for class placement- if you scored high enough on a certain subject, you can forego a few intro courses.</p>

<p>Relax.</p>

<p>Ticklemepnk is correct. You still have time ( I believe) to cancel the scores to Pepperdine. Both of our children were accepted there for the coming year and did not have stellar AP scores-as I remember, AP scores were not requested on the Pepperdine application. Pepperdine wants great overall scores and a thoughtful approach to their own applicaton. Go to the CC Pepperdine section and consider scending a PM to JC-her daugnter is there now and she is a wonderful source of information for any potential Pepperdine student. Good luck to you and do not panic!</p>

<p>AP scores are not a required part of the application, so they are not going to count against you. The score report might get tucked in your file, but it's not going to be a factor in your admissions. Relax.</p>

<p>reversepsych -- what do you mean, scores are out? I thought they didn't come until late in July.</p>

<p>You can pay $8 to get them over the phone now. We did it because D's college orientation is this week, and she will be talking with advisers about her class schedule for the fall.</p>
