Do APs matter AFTER you got into college?

AP scores sooo don’t matter at Yale…honestly, most departments don’t even give you PLACEMENT. The one exception is Chemistry, and you got a 5 anyway.

As for Calc, it realllly doesn’t matter…see, Yale doesn’t care about your AP score. They make you take their own placement test anyway, haha.

For languages, yeah a 4/5 on Spanish would have been nice (since you’d get placed into L5 and only need to take one more class). But not all hope is lost! You can also take a placement test for Spanish (and hopefully you’ll feel well this time) and you can place into L5 anyway…plenty of people do that.

So yeah, if placement in math/Spanish is important to you, you might want to skim over your textbooks right before you head over to the 'Have this fall…placement tests are the day after move-in day, unless I’m mistaken!
