Low AP scores

Sooooo my dream schools are Brown, Yale Dartmouth, Columbia, Tufts and a mail tide of other, slightly lower tier schools. I have decent stats and test scores,a good GPA and pretty good ECs (I think) However, my AP test scores are all 3s for AP Euro, Bio, USH, and physics 1. Calf AB I got a 4.

I’m pretty upset about my scores. Does anyone know how much of an impact they make? Should I forget about the Ivy League dream now?

When you’re filling out the CommonApp you don’d need to report your AP scores. Honestly, they care more about how you did in the class than in the test since the test is just an indicator of whether or not you should get college credit.

If you don’t report AP scores in your app, it won’t affect it at all since most people don’t. The ivies are hard to get into for anyone, but you should still give it a chance if you believe you could make it.

Thank you so much! honestly, I don’t have a ton of hope for the Ivies but I am Puerto Rican, and I’ve recently been told that my ethnicity makes me stand out because its a URM and its not as typical (???) all I can do is hope.

AP scores don’t count for much in admissions. don’t worry about them.

Thank you. That is a huge relief
