<p>I know most schools say it helps a bit if you have AP scores. One thing weird was that the Common App asks you to "self-report" AP scores....(I don't know how adcom can trust these scores...)
So, I wonder is it necessary for me have my AP scores sent to the admission office OFFICIALLY by Collegeboard if I want my scores to be considered part of my application?</p>
<p>(Or they will consider the "self-reported scores" ? But for some colleges I already applied, they said nothing about AP in their "received application documents")</p>
<p>And how important are the AP scores in the application process( I already have SAT1 and 3 SAT2 results)? Many of you have taken APs and got decent scores, so can anyone tell me about it? Thx!</p>
<p>You don’t send your AP scores until you’re accepted, they take your word for them.
Think about it: if you’re lying, they’ll know when you send your score report, and then they’ll just rescind admission.</p>
<p>Question, how exactly do you report the scores if you want to do it officially? I looked on the website and it said something about calling them and needing to have your AP ID but what if I lost that? Since I got all 5’s I might just report them, I mean it can’t hurt admission chances…</p>
<p>I mean during the admissions process. Since they are not required, I heard that you should show them only if they are your best. After you’re accepted I think you should send them all. You can report them by sending in a part of your score report or over the phone.</p>
looks like that work goes down the drain
