<p>So I'm entering UCLA as a freshman in the fall, and I just received back my ap scores. They're not so good considering I got 2 on Physics C E/M and 1 oh Physics mechanics C. But I do want to send in the other scores Calc BC 5 and Bio 5. Is there a point in cancelling the scores like most other people do, or might as well save myself money and send in all the scores? Also, why do people cancel scores either way, was always curious why people did it?</p>
<p>I think you should just send it in without canceling any of them - save your money. I don’t think they care too much about the scores anyways, at least not when you’ve already been accepted. If you think about it, it would make sense for them to want you to not get high scores so that you don’t place out of classes, and therefore will not graduate earlier than 4 years (gives them more tuition money). Haha just kidding. Plus credit for AP Physics exams don’t have any course equivalencies anyways. Personally, I don’t see the harm in sending all scores in, but that’s just my opinion.</p>
<p>Yea, I think they only care that you actually took the tests you said you were going to, not what you get on them. Just send them all in.</p>
<p>Well I sent them today. I actually don’t plan on using the AP units either way because I heard med schools don’t want AP. Good thing I was able to phase out the diagnostics English test by passing AP lang.</p>
<p>If you don’t want to use the AP credit then sending in the scores may have been a mistake. I’m not sure on this. Let me make that clear. However once they know the scores I don’t think there’s an option about whether they use it or not provided you earned a score that meets the minimum. </p>
<p>So if you look at the table on the UCLA website you can see what classes they will give you credit for. And once you have that credit you are precluded from taking the same class again at UCLA. You will need to take other courses in order to earn the math and English credit that med schools want to see. At least this is how I think it works…</p>
<p>If you marked your ap scores (from previous years) on your application, they probably want to see the official records so they know everything matches up.</p>
