AP scores and How much they matter in admissions?

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm a rising senior and I just received my AP score report and they were not too great :(....
AP Biology: 2
AP Calculus BC: 3 (AB subscore: 3)
AP Lang: 4
AP Psychology: 4
AP US History: 3</p>

<p>These are my sophomore AP Tests as well:
AP World: 3
AP Chemistry: 3</p>

<p>I'm really looking forward to apply to UPENN and Johns Hopkins and now I'm a little unsure on whether I should apply or not looking at my ap scores...could you guys give me your insight on how much ap scores matter when it comes to admissions? And should I report all my scores or not? Would it make me look bad if I did not report my scores?</p>

<p>I am sorry for posting this same discussion in many different threads its just that I am a little worried and would like to see what these ap scores would have on my admissions</p>

<p>If an AP course appears on your transcript, but you do not report the corresponding AP test, colleges will think one of two things: (a) You didn’t take the test because you were unmotivated and lazy, or (b) You scored badly on the test and some colleges might assume you got a 1. Neither of those options help you in your pursuit of a selective college like UPenn or Johns Hopkins, so I would self-report all your scores.</p>
