AP's vs. SAT II's? Help Me?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>I have taken three AP Exams (Chemistry, Environmental Science, English) and gotten a 5 on all three. I plan to apply to Harvard, who requires three SAT II Subject Test scores, so I took subject tests in Chemistry, Literature, and Math II.</p>

<p>I received a 750 in Chemistry, 700 in Literature, and 630 in Math.</p>

<p>I will not be able to re-take the subject tests, so these will be the three that I send to Harvard.</p>

<p>Is it a good idea to put any or all of these scores on my Common Application for the other schools that I am applying to to see (Vanderbilt, Yale, Furman), or does a 700 on a Literature subject test negate my 5 on the English AP Exam? Do you think I should possibly put just my Chemistry score on the Common App, or just English and Chemistry, but still send all three scores to Harvard? I really am not sure how AP exam scores compare to subject test scores, and don't know how good my SAT II scores are.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>The APs are made to be more difficult than SAT IIs. They can’t really ‘negate’ each other.
Put all of your scores, I’m sure they will want to see them.</p>

<p>That is a good point. However, do you think a 630 in math may dampen my application, even slightly?</p>

<p>It may be a little bit low for Harvard, but if you don’t have a chance to retake it just send that, since you do need three scores.</p>

<p>That’s what I’ll have to do, I guess. Since Harvard isn’t one of my very top considerable choices, as I would rather go to Yale or Vanderbilt, do you think it would be wise to list my Chemistry and English scores on the CA, send those two scores to every school but Harvard, and also send the math score to Harvard?</p>
