Does anyone know for sure if top colleges such as Ivy league schools and other reputable colleges hold low AP scores against you? I got a 2 on my AP World History exam but the reason is because I didn't study at all for it. But the thing is I'm not a bad student at all.
I'm a very good student, my grades are all mid to high 90's so i'm basically a 4.0 student.In my AP World history class I always did well and got above 90 (A's) on the tests and I think my final average for AP World History was like a 96%. Also I live in New York state so we are require to take a regents exam in World History, and my score on that was a 97%.
I really hope top colleges and Ivy league schools won't reject me because I scored a 2 on this AP World Hisotry exam. Do you think that they will understand that I'm not bad at history and just had a bad day on the AP test when they see my high average (96%) in the AP history class itself and also my 97% on the regents?
I'm really worried please help me!

The schools I might want to apply to:
-Princeton
-Yale
-Harvard
-Cornell
-Columbia
-NYU
-Fordham


P.S: I'm retaking my Math B regents because I got an 83, do you think that is bad to get into an Ivy? Because my average in the Math class itself was a 98% and my teacher's own math final I got a 95%.


Thank you so much!!!
TO WADE: It might make my school look overrated but it isn't really because I know other people in my AP class got 4's on it and they were at my level grade-wise in the class but the reason i got a 2 and they got a 4 is because i didn't study at all & I also didn't follow my teacher's review for the exam but they studied well and did the review stuff my teacher gave us for the exam. I got my scores back 3 days ago and I live in upstate NY.
That's the only real standardized test i took so you can't say I'm low on standardized tests, and if your talking about regents exams I said I got a 97 on the history regents, and also I got a 98 on earth science regents, the only one I messed up was math b which I got a 83 but that's because being the dumbass i was i thought it would be a piece of cake so i barely looked over my notes.
 
You don't have to send the scores to the colleges, it is optional. I got a 2 on my AP lang test, and I am a 4.0 student as well.
