Do you think a 4 looks worse than a 5, like a lot worse?

<p>I want some opinions. Would a 4 look bad on an applicant's packet?</p>

2

<p>Omg, nooo, stop worrying so much.</p>

3

<p><em>hyperventilates</em> </p>

<p>Haha, it’s the first time I took so many AP tests at once, so I don’t really know how scores compare.</p>

4

<p>Nope. Most of my friends actually got 2-3. </p>

<p>Furthermore, 4 is accepted at a lot of universities! Now for HYPSM, they don’t look at 4s, but it doesn’t mean they’ll break your application. Don’t worry :)</p>

5

<p>

</p>

<p>Many HYPSM admits have made 4’s before. Moreover, they DO accept 4’s, so I dunno where you’re getting that.</p>

6

<p>OP, please. You’re panicking over something that doesn’t even matter that much (in the long run). </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This is true. Now relax. A 4 is still a passing grade, and a pretty damn good one at that.</p>

<p>Well Harvard doesn’t accept anything other than a 5.

<p>But my mistake for the other YPSM. They do accept 4 and some actually accept 3s for difficult subjects such as threes.</p>

<p>Furthermore, I don’t think these AP scores make THAT big of a difference on an application unless you got a 95 in the class and ended up with a 1 or a 2. That might raise some eyebrows.</p>

<p>Again, like most people said. Relax. My friends would kill for a 4 and kill you for worrying about such a thing.</p>

8

<p>Okay, thanks guys! </p>

<p>I feel silly now. Haha, my neuroticism.</p>

<p>What are HYPSM schools?</p>

10

<p>Harvard
Yale
Princeton
Stanford
MIT</p>

<p>Welcome to CC :slight_smile: do the UCs (Berkeley) accept 4s?</p>

11

<p>A 4 is a good score. Congratulations.</p>

12

<p>A 4 is nearly tantamount to a 5.</p>

<p>hobbithill, based off this link [Advanced</a> Placement Examinations](<a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/faq/ap.html]Advanced”>http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/faq/ap.html) , They seem to accept 3’s as well. So really the only thing anyone should worry about is whether or not they got a 1/2.</p>
