AP Exams

Hi guys,
I am studying for my APUSH exam, and I was wondering if AP scores are automatically submitted to colleges. If they are, and I got a bad score, would a school hold that against me? Or do they just give you “bonus points” if you did well?

AP scores are not automatically sent; you need to request it. At the vast majority of colleges, AP scores carry little to no weight in the admissions process; they are primarily used to determine credit and/or placement.

Oh ok. Great! Thanks! What about the ivies?

My statement above applies to Ivy League schools as well.

Ok. Thank you
