How much does a poor AP test score hurt your chances?

<p>I’d have to disagree with most of you here. I think that a slew of high AP scores will definitely boost your chances for admission. All else being equal, why would the AdCom pick someone who has all 1’s over someone who has all 5’s? And some people say that they can only help you, not hurt you. But if they are helping someone else and not helping you, that means they are actually hurting you.</p>
