My AP Scores

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation
1

I’m a sophomore and here are the scores I got.

BC Calculus 4
Computer Science 3
Physics 1 5
Physics C:Mechanics 5
Physics C:Electromagnetism 5

I self studied BC Calculus and both Physics C (though my physics teacher offered a class on the side after school for C).

I also took World History as a freshman and got a 4.

I’m really happy with my physics scores but disappointed with everything else. I want to major in physics at a top physics school (MIT/Caltech) and I want to know if my good physics scores will cover up for my crappy Math/CS/History scores. I’m especially worried about BC as I know there’s a lot of interplay with calculus and math. So am I completely screwed or can I recover from this?

Schools won’t look at your AP scores for admissions. Don’t worry about it. Your scores are fine anyway. The worst case scenario is that you will have to retake the class.
