<p>Okay I took 4 APs Junior year (rising senior) I got 4s on all of them :( its was APUSH, AP Spanish, AP Human Geo and AP Bio. 740 on SAT US History and 720 on Bio. Planning to take Math2 and lit in october or november...do I have to report those 4s? My dean said I have a reasonable chance of JHU or UChicago if i apply early. </p>
<p>You do not have to report AP scores, in fact they are “self-reported” on the common app, not sent via College Board. There is great debate surrounding just how much AP scores are considered.</p>
<p>My opinion is that 4’s are not bad (especially APUSH) and you should report them. If a school saw a student took an AP class and didn’t report any scores, it might look a little strange.</p>
<p>No they are fine. Most colleges do not even look at 4s for the purposes of admission (checked with multiple admission officers on this) Self reporting those scores (unless they are below 4) will only help you. They give you credit and show that you mastered the content. Colleges will look for SAT IIs for purposes of admissions and mastery more anyway and you have good scores</p>
<p>3 is considered passed and 4 is usually eligible for credit. It is pretty good. Indeed, it is above the average score required for AP scholars.</p>
<p>4 means “well qualified”. 4’s are great!</p>
<p>Most colleges will give you credit for a class with a “4”.</p>
<p>4 is considered qualified. 3 is the number in jeopardy. Some schools accept it, other’s don’t.</p>
<p>You’re fine lol</p>
<p>Do not equate a 4 with a B - it doesn’t work that way. A 4 is a fine score that you should be happy with.</p>
<p>FWIW: For 99% of colleges, whether you score a 3, 4 or 5 on the AP test has little or no bearing on their decision to accept, deny or waitlist a student.</p>
<p>
While that is certainly true, if an AP course appears on your transcript, but you do not self-report the corresponding AP test on the Common Application, colleges will think one of two things: (a) You didn’t take the test because you were unmotivated and lazy, or (b) You scored badly on the test and some colleges might assume you got a 1. Neither of those options will help you in the applications process.</p>
<p>So you should self-report all your scores! A 4 is good score, it means you are well-qualified and it’s better than a college assuming you scored a 1! </p>
