<p>I got a 5 on English Language and Comp. at the end of senior year and a 4 on US History at the end of junior year. My high school doesn't offer AP classes in English/History because they say all of their classes are enough to get students 4s and 5s on AP tests (they are generally correct, my high school was extremely intense, they had us writing thesis term papers on immigration in 7th grade) My problem is, the day before the English AP in 11th grade, one of my best friends got kicked out of school for smoking pot off campus somewhere, and I was so angry about it that for my essay, I made an extremely tenous connection between their question and the event, and although I got all but 2 multiple choice questions right, I ended up getting a 3 on the test. Should I send my scores anyway? I did get a 780 on the writing SAT II, and a 5 when I retook the test, but I just think a 3 might jump off the page at a place like Georgetown as a reason not to admit me.
Also, I'm paying for the whole transfer application process myself, and at 15 dollars a pop for 6 schools, that's a lot of money to send AP scores that were unnecissary to send, or worse yet, adverse to my application.<br>
Using the 4 and the 5, I did take upper level history and english classes this semester, if that helps.</p>
<p>Many schools don't require an official AP score report until you decide to matriculate. Alot of the schools I applied to - for freshman admissions, at least - only asked us to write in some of our scores on the application (I opted to wrote all of mine down, but I'm sure others only wrote in some of them). </p>
<p>Find out if Gtown wants an official one. My hunch is they don't, since schools know its expensive.</p>
