How bad is a 4 for colleges?

<p>I just got back my results for Calc AB, and I got a 4. I'd like to major in computer science, and I'd like to get into colleges like UC Berkeley. Do you think that I'm screwed, or is there still a chance?</p>

<p>Sorry if this isn't the right forum. I was contemplating putting it in "What are my chances", but it seemed more appropriate here.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I got 2 2s and a SAT score under 1900 and I still got accepted into Berkeley…</p>

<p>A 4 is good. 3 is passing, so 4 should be just fine, and AP scores aren’t the biggest thing in admissions. Colleges may consider them, but I know people who have gotten into great colleges even with not-so-good AP scores. Are you taking BC next year? If you got a 5 on that, then AB probably won’t make a difference.</p>

<p>you’d be safer off not applying. flat out rejection with a 4. Sorry :/</p>

<p>Seriously, a 3 and above in any AP exam is technically decent. It might be a little more impressive if you intended to be a liberal arts major, but one thing’s for sure is you can’t tip the admission scales to rejection with AP scores.</p>

<p>What up with these people crying over a 4? A 4 is very good, considering a 3 = passing! :stuck_out_tongue: Now if you had got a 1… well that means you just wrote your name on the paper… xD</p>

<p>I got a 4 on 2 exams and 5’s on the other 3 and still got into WUSTL.</p>

<p>I didn’t know the scores on the AP test mattered to college admissions.</p>

<p>Great, thanks for the responses everyone.</p>

<p>I got a 4 on calc ab and got into UCLA</p>

<p>Out of the 3 AP tests I took when I applied to Berkeley, I got a 3, 4, and 5. And I still got accepted :slight_smile: I’m going there this Fall, and I can totally say that AP scores are <em>not</em> the big picture. There are stills essays, overall GPA (weighted and unweighted), clubs, extra curriculars, jobs, etc.
Good luck!</p>
