Poor AP Grade: Grounds for rescinding admissions?

<p>Granted that this is my postacceptance paranoia speaking, but I was wondering if not a 2 or 3 but a 1 on an AP test can get you one of those neat "please explain why you did not work to your full potential" letters. I took four AP tests and three are fine, but my physics B test is a borderline 1 or 2.</p>

<p>If you do know if bad AP grades having an effect, do you think I should withhold the grade from being sent? Am I allowed to do this?</p>

<p>Oh on a sidenote, for those worried about bad grades, the book "A is for Admissions" written by a former admissions officer at dartmouth said that 5 A's to 2 A's and 3 B's is a reasonable drop, but anything further than this is unacceptable.</p>

<p>In addition there is no requirement that you send your AP scores to Dartmouth.</p>

<p>NO NO, AND NO. Don’t worry. APs are for placement and you dont even have to take/submit them.</p>
