Bad AP Test Kills Chances?

<p>So I just took the AP Physics B test and I think I got a 3 or a 4. I'd wanted to apply to Yale's Engineering school to study computer science. I have a 2340 and I've been getting 780+ on my math 2 and physics subject test practices. I just couldn't finish the FRQs on this test and panicked and made stupid mistakes, plus the multiple choice was harder than on the SAT II. How bad will it look to apply to engineering school with only a 3 on the AP Physics exam? Should I not send the score? Will it be considered differently since I want to study CS? If I get an 800 on the subject test will it not matter? I only took two other AP tests this year (both should be 5s) and I'm not sending a terrible language score from last year...</p>

<p>Did you self-study or was this course taken in school?</p>

<p>Yale does not require an official AP score report. AP scores are self reported on the common app. Don’t report the score there. See: <a href=“Standardized Testing | Yale College Undergraduate Admissions”>Standardized Testing | Yale College Undergraduate Admissions;

<p>Do not worry too much about AP scores, although I’d refrain from posting any failing scores on the self-reported portion. I got a few 3’s and 4’s, which I all reported on my application, and got admitted. Specifically, I did get a 3 in Physics, so don’t worry :slight_smile: </p>
