<p>Hello, my question is pretty general can low AP scores hurt the chance of admission into schools like Cornell and Rice?</p>

<p>By low I mean like a 3.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>It depends. If you had a high grade in the class, colleges may assume your teacher wasn’t very good and will let the 3 go by. Also, you can opt not to reveal an AP exam score when applying to college if it’s below your standards.</p>

<p>Does CB’s new Score Choice apply to AP exams as well?</p>

<p>For example, if you score a 2 on AP Lang and a 5 on AP USH and AP Stat, could you only choose to send the two 5s and hide the 2?</p>

4

<p>AP exams always had score choice, just $10 per score per college to hide. I don’t think it will hurt your admissions chances much. Don’t people send their AP score reports after acceptance?</p>

<p>You can hide them. At least you didn’t get a 2! : )</p>

<p>If you’re going to somewhere like Cornell and Rice, then you should probably not get a 2 on an AP exam. Just sayin’…</p>

<p>Then again, APs are self-reported, so the college need never know until AFTER you’re admitted.</p>

<p>these days i think ap’s are more important than sat II’s.</p>
