<p>Hi, im a recently admitted student, and on my application I wrote that I was an AP Scholar With Distinction. However, that award maintains that you qualify if the average of your AP scores is above 3.5. If the average of my AP scores goes below 3.5 after I take this year's AP tests, would I be at risk of being rescinded? Possibly just being paranoid, but I don't think I will do too well on tomorrow's Economics AP (read: I'm gonna get 1s). Thanks!</p>
<p>Did you already get the award last year? If so, that counts. If not, you lied.</p>
<p>If you got it due to last year’s AP scores (i.e. your application was honest), your condition admission does not state anything about AP scores, so you shouldn’t have any problems or even need to report anything.</p>
<p>yea, I received the award from my APs in 10th + 11th grade. I was just wondering if my award would be pulled back if my overall average sinks below 3.5 haha. Thanks! Anyone else have a different answer?</p>
<p>You’ll be fine as long as you did have the award in hand when you applied; the conditions of admissions only have requirements about your GPA this year, not AP scores.</p>
<p>It’s obviously in your best interests to do as well as you can for waiving out of courses/requirements for majors and stuff like that :)</p>
<p>@Agneisse: haha definitely, but I don’t think I can waive out of anything with my econ AP tests + I literally don’t know anything but we are required to take it ): thanks though!</p>
<p>No, no one cares. I didn’t believe this when I was a terrified high school senior but it’s true.</p>
<p>They only care that you take the same level of rigor in senior year as you listed in the application, that you meet the minimum GPA, and that you didn’t falsify parts of your application - which would mean write something down that was not true at the time you applied. </p>
<p>If you take AP courses but don’t choose to sit for the AP exam, doesn’t matter to them AT ALL. As long as you took the class and earned a grade above D, with overall semester GPA at or above 3.0, you are golden. Taking the tests and earning AP credits benefits you, not the school.</p>
<p>What about for IB? Could Berkeley rescind their admission due to doing poorly on the final IB examinations?</p>
<p>I fairly sure it’s more important that you do well in the actual classes than the exam. The exam measures your performance over 3 hours in one day. The class measures your performance over a period of 9 months. In the end, I think good scores can only help, and bad scores are virtually ignored.</p>
