I’m trying to get into not the Ivy League, but nonetheless top schools like Georgetown, Duke, and Northwestern. I got my AP Scores back today and I got a 2 on my AP Research “exam”, or really just paper and presentation, and I don’t know what to do. My sophomore year I got two 5s in AP World and AP Seminar, and junior year I got two 5s in AP Lang and AP US History along with two 4s in AP Chem and AP Calc AB. Should I just not report that score, and how much will reporting a bad score do in comparison to not reporting a score? Also would not reporting one AP score and reporting the six others look weird to colleges? Basically I don’t know what to do, so please help!
Go ahead and report it. A single below par test won’t hurt your app with all those other tests on there.
