<p>So, embarrassingly enough, last year I got a 1 on my AP Studio Art 2-D Design Portfolio.</p>
<p>I made all my pieces to specifications but apparently I just suck. Anyway, whatever, I don't really care. What I want to know is if it could actively HURT my chances at getting into a college to self-report such a deplorable score on such a useless AP. I don't want to keep anything from the colleges I'm applying to, and nowhere else do I claim Art as a huge extracurricular or something I spend all my time on/should be good at.</p>
<p>Responses appreciated.</p>
<p>Not everyone agrees that the AP art portfolio approach is the right way to evaluate artists. (One prep school's art department used to say that such a disagreement was why it didn't offer AP art classes.) I think your impulse of being fully honest is a good one, and the other aspects of your application will stand out more than the sole AP score of 1 on a debatable AP test.</p>
<p>Thank you! Just wanted a bit of reassurance, I guess. I'll send that 1 right on in. :)</p>
<p>i reported my 2 in physics if that makes things better....</p>
<p>Yes, report the AP Art score. It's such a subjective test that it almost seems silly.</p>
