So I did really bad on my AP Physics 1 exam. I got a 2 and I am freaking out. I want to get into Columbia and now with that score i doubt i will get into any ivy league. I want to be a surgeon and study medicine, but with that score I don’t think I will get into an ivy. The funny thing was I did so well throughout the year with a 94 average and a 4 on the practice test we did in school, but still managed to get a 2…typical thing that would happen to me. Also ironic is the fact that I studied really hard and didn’t think it was that bad. Next year I’m taking AP Chem, AP Calc Bc, and Ap lang. I got a 5 on the AP calc AB exam but does anyone think that if i do really well on all my other exams I have a better chance or does that 2 ruin it completely ??? Please help me I’m feeling super down.
Why do you want to go to an Ivy League if your goal is to go to med school? You want a high GPA and little, if any, debt.
Besides that: Most schools don’t require you to report AP scores. Check policies, don’t submit if they allow that. No big deal.
Also wanted to add these other things. I do a lot of clubs and played volleyball. I am doing this columbia program over the summer which is a good thing to add. My school is very well recognized and my GPA is very high. In junior year ill be doing even more clubs and volunteering at a hospital. My senior year ill be interning at a hospital for a surgeon (not an official surgical intern just someone who does paper work and stuff kinda like an assistant). Im taking SATs, ACTs, and 2 SAT II which on my ACT and regular SAT i almost have a perfect score and im not sure about my SAT II yet and i might even have another one so i can sent in a total of 5 scores. Also I’m going to start a new club and do this research symposium at my school and if you do it its a really good thing to put on your college apps. My senior year I want to apply to the Columbia Honors Science program so its another program that columbia can see i did. With all these things and get an additional 5 on all my other AP’s do you think that 2 lowers my chances.
@bodangles I don’t mind about the whole debt thing because my parents said they would be able to pay my only issue is getting accepted, but thank you! I def will not be sending in my score if they allow me to.
