Hi,

I recently took AP Chem junior year and got an A in the class. I expected a 4 or 5 on the ap test but instead I got a 3. I was very disappointed in my score, as I am also asking the teacher for a letter of rec. Since I am asking her for a letter, do you think colleges will look badly upon me if I don’t report my AP Score for the class I am getting a rec from? I did get an A in the class, so it’s not all that bad. I also scored poorly on my chem subject test (690, I guess I’m just not good at standardized tests), and do not plan reporting that either. Is it worth busting my ass and studying for the October 1st sat chem test again and trying to score higher to make up for the bad AP score? If it helps, I am applying to Vanderbilt ED, Duke, UNC, UVA, Emory, Brown, and Pomona.
