<p>I'm under the impression that a high SAT II score is much more valued than, say, a 4 or 5 in an AP test. How do colleges look at APs and SAT IIs during the admissions process?</p>
<p>Furthermore, would getting a 3 on an AP severely hurt your chances at a top school?</p>
<p>I think very few colleges actually consider AP credit when reviewing applications. Some public schools (ie. mine) only offer a couple of AP courses, which gives an unfair advantage to those who went to a decent school.</p>
<p>You self report your AP scores on college apps, so you can choose to or not to list it.</p>
<p>It definitely weighs in on your college application, especially if you get some degree of AP Scholar. Imagine how it would look if you didn't take any AP exams, versus the 3 that you get. The 3 may not severely hurt you, but you have to remember there is more to the college application than GPA and exams.</p>
