Should I report a 3 on an AP exam related to my intended major?

My greater worry for you would be the 4 in calc. Even for humanities majors, the gen ed requirements ¬ GIR in MIT-speak, include some pretty intense STEM courses.

MIT requires 18.01 and 18.02 for math. 18.01 is like all of single variable calculus (or calculus BC) in one semester, while 18.02 is multivariable calculus. See https://math.mit.edu/academics/undergrad/first/calculus.php .

I’m aware of that. The point that I was trying to make is that student that got a 4 on BC where the mode is 5 might struggle in 18.01. Alternatively, maybe the student just had a bad day on the day of the exam.
