<p>I'm going to be a senior next year and I and questions about withholding the ap scores. As junior I have taken 6 ap classes,and I did really well on 3 of them and horrible on the other 3. I was wondering id it was better to not report any of my scores instead of reporting some and hiding some. I thought that it might look fishy if i only reported half the scores. I know that not reporting them is also a bad idea, but will it really hurt my chances of getting into ivies? Other than that, I have great SAT I and II scores. I got 2370 in SAT I and above 750 on 3 of my SAT II. I also have 4.0 unweighted GPA and I got As in all of my AP Classes. My school is also a really known school so my bad ap scores are not a grade inflation, it's just that I'm a horrible test taker and I think that I panicked during the test dates.</p>

<p>so if i have other great stats and amazing extracurriculars, is it better to not report any of my AP scores?
Sorry for the rant btw.... my scores are really killing me right now </p>

<p>AP scores carry little to no weight in admissions; they are mainly used for credit and/or placement. The choice of whether to self-report is up to you.</p>

<p>That said, if an AP course appears on your transcript, and you do not report a score, it is possible that the admissions officer will think one of two things: either you did not take the exam because you are unmotivated or you took the exam and scored poorly. It is also possible that the admissions officer with have no thoughts one way or the other. However, you don’t know what the AO will think.</p>

<p>If it were me, I would not report a 1 and would think long and hard if I wanted to report a 2. I’d have no problem reporting a 3+. YMMV.</p>
