<p>Has anyone been accpeted into like an Ivy League school or any highly selective school even though you had that one low AP score?</p>

<p>This was my first year taking AP exams:
AP World - 4
AP Art History - 3
AP Language - 2</p>

<p>It is my dream to go to Columbia, and I have other schools on my list, like Yale. But I feel like I really blew it this time with that 2. I'm so stressed out! Should I supress that AP lang score? Has anyone gotten accpeted into their first choice or competitive school even with a low score?</p>

<p>AP scores factor very little into college admissions. However, it is true that colleges may question the rigor of your curriculum, based on low AP scores. You’re probably best off just not reporting that score (no need to suppress it, just don’t self-report on the common app)</p>

<p>i got a 2 on my AP Lang test, and im in the same exact boat as you. but what suvayanr said is true, the common app allows 8 slots for subject test and ap scores, so assuming you take two subject tests, you have 6 slots for ap scores, and in my case, ive taken 10 tests so im just not going to report that 2.</p>

<p>i had 1 5, 3 4s, 2 3s and a 2 when I applied. That’s relatively low.</p>

<p>Hahahaah you gonna go to a community college and become a janior gf in life.</p>

<p>You could just not report the 2 on your application.</p>

7

<p>would reporting a 3 hurt you, or is it ok to self report it in the app</p>

<p>Yeah i got a 3 on my first AP (Government and politics). I’m going to be a junior next fall and have to take 4 AP classes. So should i cancel my 3?</p>

<p>don’t colleges want you to report all of your scores?</p>

10

<p>No you don’t have to report all of your scores. You can cancell your scores.</p>
