<p>I’m just giving you a reality check in case you need one; don’t take any offense to it, I don’t mean it to be. The honors and advanced chemistry classes at Bothell (I used to go there) did not specifically cover the AP test, but covered enough material that it was very helpful for the CHEM 142 series. I feel that with taking those classes and self-studying as you put it (and maybe you weren’t being entirely accurate by saying you knew how to do everything in the book), it seemed that you were dedicated and naturally talented enough in chemistry to score higher than a 1. It’s just not a good SIGN, however, it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t major in chemistry.</p>
<p>As long as you do good in your pre-req classes, I’m sure the admissions office wouldn’t care about your AP score from high school. The hard part is actually doing well.</p>
