disgusting AP scores

Applying to College
1

<p>if i get 3's and 4's on my AP tests and i'm applying to colleges of high caliber (MIT) will it hurt my chances? i thought the whole point of AP scores was to give the student college credit or not. so will these scores work against me?</p>

<p>Ewwwwwww, that's the most disgusting thing I ever heard. A kid with 3's in AP's thinking of going to MIT. Makes me barf.</p>

<p>Just kidding. Don't worry about it, just do well in school.</p>

3

<p>i dont know anything</p>

<p>but according to what i have read...</p>

<p>just think about your passion, interest, and dreams/goals of your life.</p>

<p>a bigger problem will be taking the class without submitting scores. and even then it's tenuous.</p>

<p>3's and 4's aren't that bad. 4 is enough for course credit at most schools; 3 is too, at many. I would tell them about them. no test is worse than an imperfect test.</p>

5

<p>you will have to think about the other side. Some people who apply to competitive schools do not even take APs...</p>

<p>yes, it can hurt you. a lot? no.</p>

7

<p>multiple 3s may hurt you</p>

<p>but 4s are a very good score, even for MIT</p>

<p>i dont think it'll hurt you. 4s are good, but 3 is still considered passing at many schools. maybe college reps have told me that ap tests can only help you, but wont hurt you. don't worry about it, i mean, you cant change yoru scores at this point... just keep up the good work and you'll be fine.</p>

<p>Doesn't hurt you. I would worry more about your grades, board scores, and BS factors like essays.</p>

<p>Scores on AP tests help colleges see how difficult classes at your school are....so if you don't have a's in your classes then it will proably hurt you.</p>

<p>But don't worry, other things...GPA, SATs, essays, and EC's are much more important. It shouldn't hurt your chances much if you have other outstanding qualities.</p>
