One of my wife’s students got a 1 on the APUSH exam a couple years ago. This student was in the top 5-6% of his class, and his SATs were in the mid-600s per section. He had no hooks. Still got into Cornell. I think it is ridiculous to suggest that getting into an Ivy League school is impossible if you get a 3 or 4 on an AP exam.
