<p>I got a really bad teacher for AP CS who didn't teach anything. I went into the AP test thinking the test was going to be as easy as her class which it wasn't. I ended up getting a 3 on the the test. Will this hurt me ? I started learning more during the summer and now I am actually know a lot more than what the test would show I know. So how bad is this going to be for me. I really want to go to CMU for CS.</p>

<p>No. One AP score is not going to make or break your application.</p>
<p>If you like, take the exam again next year (after self-studying) and aim for a 4 or 5.</p>
<p>You’ll be fine. There are people that get in to SCS with no programming experience.</p>
