<p>do u think it's a good idea to send an AP score of 3? (I took the course in school.) because somebody once said think of AP scores as: 5=A 4=B 3=C.
should I send? thnx</p>
<p>At my S's school they don't advise sending scores in under five.</p>
<p>You don't need to send AP scores for any application. Most have an area for self-reporting AP scores. Is it a good idea to list a 3? I don't think it helps or hurts. However, leaving the score blank suggests a failing score, or that you didn't take the test.</p>
<p>After you are accepted, you will send a set of official scores to the registrar to get credit for your AP courses.</p>
<p>If you took the course and aren't reporting the score when they ask, they probably will figure it was bad. 3 is passing and I don't think AP Scores really count against you</p>
<p>i received a 2 on one of mine. are you guys certain that ap scores are truly 'self-reporting.' i mean...you also have to state your SAT scores on the application, and end up sending it electronically through the college board. i would assume ap scores would work the same way, no? otherwise, any one can just say they received a 5 on all their aps. i'm confused. help..i only took 5 ap classes and some applications ask you to list scores from 8+ APs. do i list that 2? or not mention it..? HELPP..ive always been confused about that.</p>
<p>You only send the AP scores to the college where you matriculate. If you lie, they'll find out after you are admitted, and withdraw the offer. I'd leave out the 2 on the self reported part of the application and just report the rest of them if I were you. Don't worry about the number -- different schools have different numbers of AP classes and they won't hold it against you.</p>
<p>My daughter was working on her Cornell application last weekend. She noticed that the Cornell supplement to the Common Application specifically asks for AP scores. The question is worded this way:</p>
<p>"Please list scores for any College Board Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate Examinations you have taken."</p>
<p>It does NOT say:</p>
<p>"If there are any AP or IB scores you would like to share with us, list them here."</p>
<p>Given the way the question is worded, I can't help but wonder whether Cornell might have a negative view of applicants who attempt to conceal bad AP scores.</p>
<p>You did not report the grade that you received in the class with the AP test that you got a 2 on or the year in hs that you took the class. Is the class in an area that you intend to major in? If it's not don't worry about it. If it is then just be prepared to take the class again, which is also not the end of the world. HS classes even APs are not the same as a college classes. If you took an AP class, the schools expect to see the score. You don't get to pick which scores to send. You can cancel the score right after the test. Don't put so much weight on one hour exam. In fact, if you don't get into Cornell based on that one test score.... it wasn't the school for you. Any decent admission officer will look at your entire package.</p>
<p>yes, Marian..i was actually worried about that when i was filling out my own Cornell apps. so, because of the way it is worded..i will have to report that 2. ive only received two 4's and two 3's in addition to that 2. I guess i cant say goodbye to cornell.</p>
