AP Scores for top schools

<p>Theoretically, would a 3 on an AP test kill you chances for admissions into a top school?
ie: MIT, Caltech, Harvard, Yale</p>

<p>definitely not.</p>

<p>well, would it negatively affect your app at all?</p>

<p>depends - I think a 3 on Calc might look bad at Caltech. They have a very tough core requirement, esp in math, and they want to make sure that they do not lose students along the way.</p>

<p>I’m not sure, but I didn’t think colleges even saw your scores when you apply.</p>

<p>really? I thought you self report them or something…</p>

<p>some schools ask you to self report.</p>
