I got a 4 on both Euro and Bio.

is that good enough for Brown

or must i bust my booty off next year by taking 6 exams and

get all 5's?

if your intended concentration is history or bio, then it's probably not great, otherwise don't worry.

Colleges don't ask for scores and sending them is optional. If you do well on your AP exams and send them, they won't be a make or break factor for your admission. If you're going to be a junior concentrate on your SAT also.

I think your scores are fine...don't worry too much about them because I think AP scores won't have a large or if any impact whatsoever on applications. After all, I'm an example. I only put down that I took English Lit (4) and I still got in.

SusieBra

Yeah but how many other 5's did you get?

Sungchul

I told them about a 5, three 4s and *gasp* a 3, and I still got in!

stl2cali2k1

u guys gave me new hope. thanks so much.

im determined to get 5's on all my aps this year by quitting myspace and facebook lol

I told them about one 5, three 4s, and a 2 (spanish sucks ;P ).

stl2cali2k1

^and you still got in?

Avanine-Commuter

yea lol isn't that funny? I was scared but I assumed that APs didn't count as much as the total package.

stl2cali2k1

so that means you must've had crazy rec/essay/and something unique.

are you an URM?

SusieBra

Is it better to have two humanities teachers or to have a humanities teacher recomendation and then a bio teacher recomendation (even though you got a 3 on the bio AP test??)

stl2cali2k1 : I didn't put any AP scores, and that didn't affect me in any way. Thinking about it, out of the 6 people who got in from my area, none of them put anything, but there were things that made us stand out.

SusieBra: Unless you are specified for a science teacher and a math one (as I believe is done for PLMEs), get teachers that know you the best. The ones that spend time outside the class with you.
