<p>I'm planning to apply to Cornell, Umichigan-ann arbor, and uvirginia via ED & EA. Yet, my ap scores are only 3s and 4s, although i took 5 of them my junior year. Should I submit my scores? My grades in those classes are solid, but my ap scores are so bad for some reasons.</p>
<p>Submit your 4’s.</p>
<p>It’s up to you if you want to submit your 3’s or not… personally I will.</p>
<p>3’s are generally considered neutral. They are “passing”, even if they aren’t stellar. If you report them, at least they won’t think you got a 1 or 2.</p>
<p>any other suggestions? i got one 2, which i think i should not report…</p>
<p>Advice given to my D was never report anything under a 4. That was from a Williams rep. On the other hand I never thought about the implication that you might have gotten a worse score than a 3 if you don’t report. But what are the chances that they line up your score reports and transcript and compare how many/which AP classes you took vs which scores are reported. Not likely. Maybe ask each school individually what they recommend. There’s probably not a one size fits all answer to this Q.<br>
My kids attend a school that reports their AP grades on the transcript so not an issue for them, and a huge motivator to achieve only 4’s and 5’s.
I can’t figure out AP’s anyway. One of my kids got all 5’s on 10 AP’s and another (smarter) student got mostly 3’s and 4’s. So don’t stress over your AP scores - they are not as important as your grades.</p>
<p>upppppppppppp</p>
<p>D has one 2, which will not be reported. All 3s, 4s, and 5s will be reported, and hopefully the 2 will be lost in the shuffle.</p>
<p>If you report 3s as well as 4s, the colleges will probably assume that you got a 2 or 1 on your other AP.</p>
<p>According to other CC posters, readers don’t generally have to time to match up all your AP courses with all your AP tests. And test results are generally held to be less important than actually taking the course.</p>
