My AP scores....good or bad?

<p>I am about to start applying to colleges and I want to see what people think of my scores. I don't want to apply to difficult schools that won't take anything less than a 4, so I need to see where I stand. </p>

<p>AP European History - 2 (yes, my hardest one, awful)</p>

<p>AP Physics B - 5 (probably my easiest exam)</p>

<p>AP English Lang/Comp - 3 (I didn't actually take the AP course because I was in Honors English, but decided to take the exam)</p>

<p>And this year, senior year, I am taking AP Biology and AP Calculus AB, but I am confident I can get at least 4's on both of those, possibly 5's. Now assuming I do get 4's on these last two exams (worst case scenario), then what general range of colleges would find my scores acceptable? Obviously not Ivy Leagues and other top tier schools like Stanford and Duke and such. If it helps, my current cumulative GPA is 3.51 (weighted) with 2 sports, over 100 hours of volunteering in several places, and a few other minor ECs.</p>

<p>ap scores really arent very important in terms of college admissions.</p>

<p>depends on where you want to go. i got low scores on the us history and english lit also and i got waitlisted at columbia but all the other easier "safety" schools i applied to still accepted me. most people who get into ivies have 4s and 5s. My best friend got 8 5s and 1 4 and was salutatorian. She got rejected from Princeton and waitlisted at MIT. It all depends on where you are applying. At the safety schools, they're not very important. At Ivy League schools, AP scores are looked at and taken into consideration along with extracurriculars, SATs, etc.</p>
