<p>oh bulinskimom, how naive you are…</p>
<p>Only 6’s count.</p>
<p>I don’t think they can see your AP scores. Correct me if I am wrong.</p>
<p>Just slip it in there so they won’t instantly reject you. If you make it somewhat ostensible, it’s an instant rejection!</p>
<p>Definitely DO NOT put it on. I mean really, a 4? </p>
<p>That’s like getting an SAT score under 2350, or going to Africa and not curing AIDS: It’s for DUMB people</p>
<p>A 4 is quite good, feel free to put it on. If it is a 3, then prob. don’t.</p>
<p>I’m suprised at how rude people here are being, in a typical blow-off CC fashion. People have questions, and want either real respectful answers or no answers.</p>
<p>so your saying dont put a 3 in even if i took it as an honors course in junior year and decided on my own to take the AP test? and ya seriously a simple yes or no would do, how would any of you know if thats a make or break answer anyway?</p>
<p>hmm, the best way to approach it is that if you have enough 5s, then just dont put it on unless you have to. but otherwise, a 4 at least wont hurt you unless its in certain subjects so you shouldnt worry much.</p>
<p>Only on CC… </p>
<p>People at my school go “YES!!! I PASSED!!!”</p>

<p>for former information and remember that this year the Common Application (used by HUNDREDS of colleges) requests self-reported AP test scores from all applicants. A score of 4 on an AP test taken by a junior is fine in a world in which many college applicants don’t take AP tests until they are juniors or seniors. A score of 3 will gain you college credit at a lot of colleges, so don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>I agree with Duper. Don’t put it on your app unless it’s a 6. If you want to get in to HYPSBCM, or frankly any school in the top 100 in the nation, sorry, but you’re not getting in unless your AP scores are 6s.</p>
<p><em>kidding</em></p>
<p>Yes, list a 4.</p>
<p>Oh come on, this is a legitimate question - seeing every single chance thread with “I got 10 5’s on 9 AP tests” can be misleading.
A 4 is absolutely worth mentioning. Best of luck with admissions =)</p>
<p>a 4 is totally worth mentioning. i would put a 3. and a 2. even a 1 because at least i took the test.</p>
<p>honestly, sometimes these posts make me rethink wanting to apply to a top school because many people here are slightly number obsessed and cant take a little bit of failure…or not even failure, just slight imperfection. i dont know if i can deal with that! this is not directed to the poster, because yes, with everyone here ragging on about how they all got 5’s, it’s a legitimate question to ask</p>
<p>But what’s all this “AP scores don’t matter”? Could your curriculum really be that rigorous if you don’t score a 4 or 5 on the test (most AP tests are really easy)? Isn’t reporting a 2 just undermining your app… hey! I got an “A+” in my AP class… and then I totally failed the AP test. What’s that saying about the rigor of the class?</p>
<p>THEY’RE ALL JOKING
geez
a 4 is fine</p>
<p>The following info comes directly from the College Board website:</p>
<p>"AP Exam grades are reported on a 5-point scale as follows:</p>
<p>5 Extremely well qualified*
4 Well qualified*
3 Qualified*
2 Possibly qualified*
1 No recommendation**</p>
<p><em>Qualified to receive college credit or advanced placement
*</em>No recommendation to receive college credit or advanced placement"</p>
<p>So CB considers a “4” means “well qualified” to do college-level work. That’s not gong to hurt you.</p>
<p>lmao.
wow…
Dude on the two exams i’ve taken so far, i got a 2 and a 3. while i know i did poorly and i can do better, i’m still reporting the 3</p>
<p>I have taken 10 ap tests and gotten 4’s and 5’s on all of them so I’m reporting the 4’s… I know I can’t really say much about 3’s and lower though…</p>
