Do AP Scores get considered in admission?

Applying to College
1

Hi I am an upcoming high school senior.

I usually get 4s and 5s on the AP tests, but I had a bad day and got a 3 on chemistry.
I am looking to apply to bs/md programs and ivy league schools.
Would this chemistry score hinder my application?
How much do colleges look at ap scores for admission?

Thanks in advance!

I believe there are some schools that request either an SAT Subject test OR an AP test score, but you have the option to pick and choose which scores you submit. So, a related question would be: How low a score would hurt rather than help? I suppose it depends on the school, but it is typically the more elite schools that ask for it at all.

For the most competitive schools, self-report 4s and 5s unless all your AP scores are on your transcript.
