Is there such thing as too many 4s?

Colleges don’t consider AP exam scores as much as everyone seems to think. They’re mainly used as placement after you’ve been accepted. The fact that you took the AP classes and passed the exams is good enough, and won’t affect your application much, if at all, considering your high scores on the SAT and your grades. So I would say don’t worry about the 4s, and just focus on maintaining a high GPA and doing extracurricular activities. Even if your AP exam scores were being given equal weight with your other scores and application details, then there’s nothing you can really do about it at this point, so just rest assured that the 4s won’t hurt you in the long run.
