<p>okay so i've gotten like 3 4's so far, and it's a pass right? how come none of the colleges that i want to go to accept 4's?</p>
<p>I dont think ive seen a school that doesn't accept any fours. Even the ivies i've seen accept 3's on the likes of Physics C and calc BC.
Many better schools though only accept 4's and 5's, not 3's. I've also seen only 5's allowed on certain tests, like histories and english.</p>
<p>The only school I've seen that doesn't accept 4s is Yale. I have seen a lot of schools that accept 3s and almost all accept 4s. What colleges were you looking at?</p>
<p>the ivies lol. but do u think its because biology and euro are challenging classes in college or wut? im still confused. i mean, 4 is better than a 3, but not quite a 5. i still think they should consider 4's.</p>
<p>I've always rationaled it as higher level colleges expect more out of an intro level course than CollegeBoard does (which tries to replicate ideally a standard that would fit for a state school or a community college).</p>
<p>You need to contact the dean/department chair who is responsible for deciding who gets credit for each of 4's you earned. Don't believe anything you hear until you contact that person. Very few colleges have a uniform policy that all departments have agreed to.</p>
<p>Rather than contact the busy department chairs, you could look up the AP policy of the colleges.</p>
<p>Many colleges don't have an "AP Policy," as department heads want to maintain control of their silo.
"Busy" is not always an apt adjective for these lords of their realm.</p>
<p>i checked the colleges' websites and they don't give credit for 4's in bio and euro. ***.....</p>
