Question about APs

Applying to College
1

<p>i took 6 ap tests so far but i didnt do so well on them. my scores of 5, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2 technically make me a ap scholar with distinction (yippee?) but im worried that the lower scores might make colleges think twice while they review my application. how much do ap scores affect admissions?</p>

<p>btw, i am looking at UC berkeley,la,sd, and irvine; u michigan; usc; cornell; northwestern; carnegie mellon, among other colleges (going for undergrad B-school). the 5 that i got does happen to be my Calc BC test, so does that excuse my other lower scores?</p>

<p>They will be much more interested in your SATII Subject Tests scores. Try to reach 700+ on all of them and you'll be fine. (How many does Cornell require?)</p>

<p>Colleges know there is a huge range of quality in how AP classses are taught. Your class rank will be much more important than AP scores.</p>
