[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know of any college that takes 3.  I went to a state school and they only took 4 or 5.

It’s not elite only schools that take 4 or 5.  This is the norm.

There are outlier schools who might take a 3 but not common and likely bottom of the heap.[/quote]

Tons of schools give college credit for 3 but, sure, they are not T25 schools or anything close.[/quote]

UCLA is a T25 school that gives credit for 3s.

I stand corrected.  UCLA is tied for #20 with UC Berkeley and both gives credit credit for 3s on AP tests.

In contrast, if you look at (say) NYU (#25) you need at least a 4 on an AP test to get college credit.

I guess the advice is: if your kid is bad at AP tests and wants to graduate in 3 years, he or she should apply to one of the UCs. [/quote]

Good luck getting into UCs out of state with a bunch of 2s and 3s on APs.  Those schools are incredibly competitive.[/quote]

This.  It’s laughable to even think a kid is going to have a chance with 3 on AP.  Seriously.

You don't have to submit AP test scores to get admitted and, if you do, the UCs don't count them against you.

So, if you otherwise have a high GPA/SAT/ACT plus good extracurrics plus hook(s) you could get in regardless of whether you had some 3s on AP tests.[/quote]

What do you mean they don’t count them against you? Come on not submitting indicates a low score.  Submitting low scores is an indicator of lack of mastery or shows that the A you earned was probably inflated.[/quote]
