<p>I don't mean to be melodramatic, but I really expected to do better on my AP tests. Especially English. I think I had just burned out by the time of AP tests, but here are my scores: </p>
<p>Bio - 5
English - 4
Chem -4
Macro/Micro Econ - 4/4
US History - 4</p>
<p>I know that AP scores aren't that big of a deal, but only one 5 out of 6 tests? Will this hurt me at all for Columbia/Brown/Dartmouth/Penn?</p>
<p>lol so a 4 means you failed?</p>
<p>Nah man, relax. APs aren’t weighted as heavily as SAT/subject test scores. It would be nice to get 5’s but a 4 is by all means respectable and a great score.</p>
<p>Don’t worry, higher education isn’t for everyone. Maybe you could work as a janitor at those schools.</p>
<p>It’s not about the 4’s, and I don’t think I failed. I just didn’t do as well as I had hoped, and hope that it’s not that big of a deal. Thanks An0maly.</p>
<p>Now you have to go to community college, sucks doesn’t it?</p>
<p>lol, funny. I go to a top school, and the majority of my peers who are applying to these colleges have straight 5’s. </p>
<p>QQ: Do they compare you directly with kids from your hs?</p>
<p>You have a better chance of being rejected from a school because you posted this thread and they traced your IP address than you do of getting rejected because of 4’s. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>They mostly rely on rank and your school profile.</p>
<p>
Of course not. Schools like the ones you listed can’t find students that have done better than you, so how could they prefer kids with better scores? And if you believe that …</p>
<p>“I think I had just burned out by the time of AP tests”</p>
<p>I think you weren’t good enough, but that’s just me.</p>
<p>Lol, I predicted my scores to be : </p>
<p>English - 5
Chem - 5
Micro Econ - 2
Macro Econ - 1
APUSH - 5
AP Bio 4 </p>
<p>so, I guess I win in some things. </p>
<p>Perhaps I wasn’t good enough for some of the tests. English, however, I effed up pretty bad on test day. Do they send back our essays and stuff to teachers? I was always in the top 5 scores every time we did practices out of like 60 students-- always a high 5. But, eh. sheesh happens.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that AP tests are only used in class placements for college and really don’t factor into the admissions process.</p>
<p>That’s what I heard. Thanks monstor.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You got 4’s. Calm down.</p>
<p>No college in the world will accept you because you got 4’s.</p>
<p>they dont even look at it during admissions just for class placement–at least thats my impression</p>
<p>Just concentrate on SATI & IIs, those scores are the important ones.</p>
<p>I’m kinda laughing at this because I’m going to be a freshman and I just got my AP scores back from my senior year. Three 4s on all the tests I didn’t study for but thought were wicked easy. One 5 on the test i studied for all week and thought was ridiculously difficult. You reap what you sow, I guess 
</p>
<p>I’m laughing because, if I had gotten these scores back last year, I would have been as upset and worried as you are. But I still get credit for all of them, so it’s not a big deal at all.</p>
<p>I know you are disappointed with getting mostly 4s, but it’s really not that bad. The only think it might hurt you on is getting credit, especially at Ivy League schools. Just focus on the year ahead of you and the other aspects of your app. They are definitely more important to an admissions officer than your AP scores.</p>
<p>and how is ranting on CC is going to help you? You don’t mean to be melodramatic but you are hyperdramatic</p>
<p>yo, yelena. I’m not ranting, I asked a couple questions. and made a statement. </p>
<p>The questions have been answered, so err, is there any way I can put a lock on this thread ?</p>
<p>and thank you very much sunshowers</p>
