Do APs matter AFTER you got into college?

I’ve already chosen/enrolled into the college I’m going to (Yale). However, I did not do too well on my 3 AP tests senior year; I won’t be able to get credit for any of them.

Scores: English Lit (4), Calc BC (2! w/ a 3 subscore for AB), and Spanish Lang (3), Chem (5), Bio (5). I was surprised by my English score slightly, expected the Spanish score, and was shocked by the calc score. I wasn’t feeling well the day I took the test, but I didn’t realize it would end up making such a big impact.

Anyways, I obviously plan to take intro level calculus again at Yale, and I was thinking of just starting a new language (but I’m not sure about that).

My main concern, though, is I was thinking of doing the directed studies program. I was admitted, but will a 4 hurt me? I ask b/c on Yale’s table that shows whether or not you get credit for certain AP scores, it shows your eligibility for DRST 01 (which I’m assuming is one of the directed studies courses) if you get a 5. Will the revoke my admissions to the program?
