<p>How much does Penn look at AP Exams?</p>
<p>It seems like everyone on here is very concerned with getting 5’s on their AP tests. </p>
<p>I’ve only taken Bio and I got a 3 on it.</p>
<p>Should I be freaking out about that, or are AP tests just one more thing to make you look good?</p>
<p>screwed. have fun at Penn State</p>
<p>Their application says to list your scores only if you've taken the tests. AP tests are not REQUIRED, but are just one of many factors. Some ivy leagues don't even ask for AP scores (like Columbia). Let that give you an impression on how important AP scores are. If you've got great SAT II scores, then I wouldn't worry too much. You're more than just numbers.</p>
<p>are you obligated to list your scores if youve taken the exam</p>
<p>yea i would like to know the answer to that too please.</p>
<p>If your transcripts lists AP classes taken, then I would assume that Upenn would like to see your scores. They would expect you to take the tests. However, not all schools offer AP courses so not everyone is obligated. I really do not know much about Upenn, but I think they focus more on SAT and SAT II's for admissions decisions and AP scores for placement.</p>
<p>Right. If you took the class and didn't write the scores, they might be suspicious of something. Not having many AP scores will not affect your application, but having repeated 1s and 2s will probably be detrimental.</p>
<p>what about one 3, and a 4 and a 5...can that one 3 kill you when applying?</p>
<p>ys, if u have a 3 you will not get in</p>
<p>"What? If I get just one 3 on an AP test that means I won't get in?" I hear you cry.</p>
<p>-Well, if you ask a silly question, you get a silly answer.</p>
<p>ap's are a bunch of bull shlt</p>
<p>This was very helpful.</p>
<p><em>rolls eyes</em></p>
<p>Thanks sickoffflorida and Flavian.</p>
<p>i got a 5 on a few and a 1 on some, it'll all be included</p>
<p>that 1 , i was seriously having a bad day, my mind just wasnt on econoimcs =/</p>
<p>Well I've only been offered 4ish AP classes?</p>
<p>i recently had a chat with an admission officer and he told me that ap tests cannot hurt your application, they can only add to it. Essentially, I think he meant that if you have a 3,4 or 5 dont be ashamed to write down your scores. I mean something is always better than nothing.</p>
<p>hey thanks a lot. Btw, was that online chat sexyyetibeast???</p>
<p>if so, then how would i access it?</p>
