<p>I self-studied AP Biology this year and managed a 4. I thought that it was good enough for top-tier schools, however my family members have the notions of "5 or nothing". I'm a sophomore. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>How do I cancel my score? Can I cancel my score? And will universities know if I'm taking an AP test for the second time? </p></li>
<li><p>If I cancel my score, will this affect me negatively? Will universities think little of me if I do so? What is the aftermath/ consequences of cancellation?</p></li>
<li><p>How do universities approach AP scores? Do they take the scores into account during the reviewing/acceptance process? </p></li>
<li><p>I'm aiming for Ivy League schools, so does a 4 on AP Biology make the cut? Is it good enough, barely enough, or too low of a score?</p></li>
<li><p>I'm freaking out right now so any other suggestions/comments would be really helpful.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>You can cancel your score, but don’t. Universities barely care about AP scores in admissions. They only really care when awarding transfer credit, and a 4 will transfer to about 97.23536% of all univeristies. Even Ivy leagues won’t really care about your 4 on Biology AP, some won’t even ask for it until you are admitted.</p>
<p>If you do decide to cancel, colleges will never know you did, but i really don’t reccomend it. A lot of people would love to have a 4.</p>
<p>Stahp it. You got a 4. I was thrilled when I got a 4, and I once took a class pass/fail because I got a 92% in it.</p>
<p>You don’t have to submit your score when applying for admission, and I don’t see why you’d cancel it. Most colleges would give you credit for that score.</p>
<p>Keep your 4. You’d have to wait an entire year to retake it anyway. Re-studying for it would be stressful and you might even score lower!</p>
<p>4=well qualified</p>
<p>I recall that most college applications do ask if you took the AP test and what the score was.</p>
