Applying to Ivies with AP Scores of 3's?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello, thanks for clicking! I am a rising senior, hoping to be accepted to one of the Ivy League schools for the graduating class of 2018. </p>

<p>I just got my AP scores back today and I got a 3 in AP Euro and AP English Lang+Comp. The jury's still out on my APUSH score for some reason (it says scores delayed), but I'm mainly concerned with the 3's and how they'll affect my chances of admission among the best of the best applicants. </p>

<p>Some quick info about me to give better context- </p>

<p>White male
Low income
All AP/honors classes
3.889UW/4.61W
31 ACT
SAT II's: 670 US History, 630 Spanish
Recommendation letters will be great
Admission essays will be stellar
EC's are some of the best, most focused I've seen (not to brag)</p>

<p>Will these couple of 3's affect me?</p>

<p>The couple of 3s won’t affect you as much as your test scores will. 31 and 670/630 ARE NOT up to par with Ivies. You need at least 750.</p>

<p>You don’t have to list AP scores on your Common App if you don’t want to. They’ll never have to know! I’d worry more about getting that ACT up to a 33 or so to be competitive. SAT2s are fine and not really a big deal - plus they’re not required if you send the ACT.</p>

<p>If Ur ec’s are really good then u could probably get into an ivy.</p>

<p>It would be not the AP scores that get you rejected from Ivies. Your ACT is at the low end of mid 50 and your SAT2 scores are too low (around national average). These may affect you far more than the self reporting optional AP scores.</p>
