<p>I wish to apply to Columbia University, and i was wondering if I can remove some AP scores from my official score report that Columbia will see.
Currently, I have one three, four five's and two fours.
Is it possible I can I have College Board remove the grade ONLY FROM THE SCORE REPORT, so that Columbia can't see that 3 I got?
Is it recommended to do that?
I have heard of students who got rejected from Ivy League schools because of a 3 or a 2 on an AP score.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?</p>
<p>What was the 3 in?</p>
<p>“I have heard of students who got rejected from Ivy League schools because of a 3 or a 2 on an AP score.”</p>
<p>How did these people know why they were rejected?</p>
<p>wait i thought colleges don’t even see AP scores? am i wrong…?</p>
<p>I was under the impression that you self report scores and they aren’t used for admissions, just to show that you’ve taken them. There is, however, a very good chance that I’m wrong on this, but that’s what I have been told.</p>
<p>From everything I’ve heard, honesty is the best policy when it comes to college admissions.</p>
<p>What happens when they look at your transcript and see that you’ve taken the course? The lack of score might then give the impression that you were lazy or score obsessed and didn’t take the test.</p>

<p>There’s no way that you can know that their low AP scores were the reason they were rejected. From what I’ve read AP scores are considered, but not really given a lot of weight, and failing to report poor scores is likely to hurt. An admissions officer sees your course load, and so if he doesn’t see a corresponding AP test score he’ll either figure out what you’ve done or assume that you would have scored a 1 or 2.</p>
<p>^I agree a three is nothing to be ashamed of, especially when you have four fives and two fours in other exams. They expect consistency not perfection.</p>
