Senior AP Scores After Admission

Applying to College
1

Hello,
This is my first thread—apologies if it’s in the wrong section!

I was excepted to Vanderbilt EDII and obviously plan to matriculate there. I’m a senior and will soon be taking AP Calc AB, AP Chemistry, AP Macro, AP Micro, and AP Lit. If I’m already accepted, what happens if I were to get a 1 on all of these APs; this is the worst-case scenario, obviously. I am not sliding and do intend to study just as much as I did last year, however, I have really struggled this semester in retaining content in chemistry and macro especially… I don’t feel at all confident going into these exams. Would Vanderbilt take back it’s offer of admission if, for example, I received these scores (again, I’m not trying to do this… WORST-CASE):

AP Calc: 4/5
AP Lit: 4/5
AP Micro: 2
AP Macro: 2
AP Chem: 1

No - at this point they can be used for credit if Vandy accepts them. Otherwise, you don’t even have to send your scores to them if you don’t want to.

Do colleges care more about your class grades in AP/IB classes or more about the test score? My friend said Colleges care about about your AP/IB test grades than your class grades. I’m a Junior IB student.

^ US colleges will not know your IB scores and sr year AP scores until after you’ve been admitted, so your grades are more important.

Class grades matter more than test scores.
