<p>Will my AP scores hurt me a lot? I don't know what happened with my APUSH, I thought I would get at least a 4 maybe a 5. I wish they let you see the report.</p>
<p>Will my GPA hurt me a lot as well?</p>
<p>I also live in a college town that houses a prestigious university that usually takes a lot of kids from my town. However, there are a lot of kids in my town so it will be competitive. I'm really worried I won't get in.</p>
<p>My college list is the following but I'm hesitant now with reaches seeing how junior year turned out:</p>
<p>1-4. 4 Safety Colleges
5. Tufts University
6. New York University
7. Dartmouth College
8. Harvard University
9. Cornell University
10. University of Pennsylvania
11. Amherst College
12. Duke University</p>
<p>I can like sense it already, admissions into colleges #1-6 and then rejection from ALL colleges #7-12.</p>
<p>What do you think will kill my chances?</p>
