I'm...worried...am I being stupid?

<p>Thanks for taking a quick sec to look at this...I would greatly appreciate responses!
Okay, so here are my stats. But there's one thing that's bothering me...</p>

<p>Female.
White (Middle Eastern).
Ohio suburbs.</p>

<p>Rank: 1/420
GPA: 4.7/4.0 (weighted)
4.0/4.0 (unweighted)
PSAT: 218 (80 CR, 75 Math, 63 Writing...I got sick during the last section)
SAT: 2250 (first time...retaking and hoping for a 2300)
ACT: June 12th
SAT II's: June 5th</p>

<p>Junior Year Course Load: (it was intense)
AP Euro, AP Psych, AP Chem, PreCalculus, AP Stats, AP English Lang, AP French</p>

<p>ECs: (just the main ones)
traveled to middle east extensively. tutored students there in english. conversationally fluent in arabic. years of lessons, etc.
black belt in karate. assistant martial arts instructor.
various clubs, officer spots, etc.
lotssss of speech and debate (dramatic interp)
yadadada...volunteer hours...like everyone else.</p>

<p>okay, so my grades and SAT scores reflect ability, or at least I think they do.
however, the 6 AP tests tripped me up. not gonna lie...i crammed a lotttt this year and didn't retain it all when May rolled around. my school doesn't inflate grades...i just feel like i forgot a lot of material due to being a bit overworked. i'm reasonably certain i got scores along the lines of:
Euro: 4 (5 would be incredibly lucky seeing as i botched the dbq)
Psych: 5
Chem: 3/4
Stats: 3/4
English: 5
French: 1/2</p>

<p>Now, I know everyone says that AP test scores aren't the most important thing...but if my low guesses turn out right, will a couple 3's and a 1 ruin any shot at top tier schools? ie: Princeton? Northwestern? Harvard?
I am also considering Georgetown, American, and similar top liberal arts colleges.</p>

<p>Any thoughts???? Thank you so much.</p>

<p>If it’s really bothering you that much, you can always not send your scores. Or you can withhold some scores from schools. Collegeboard lets you do that for specific tests, but it’s something like $25 per school, and that might even be per test. So it gets really expensive really fast. </p>

<p>It seems like you’re really interested in Arabic/debating type things. So I think if you make it clear that your interests aren’t in your weak areas, you’ll have a better chance. Maybe you could even write an essay about it. Also, sometimes the college apps have a space for you to tell them anything else you think they should know about–you could write a short paragraph on how your APs this year don’t actually reflect what you can do, etc.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>
