<p>Just like Consolation’s S, my S got into the schools he applied to without having the AP scores officially sent. I’m sure Adcoms look at self-reported AP scores, just as they consider everything reported on the apps, but how highly they weight those scores is a good question. </p>
<p>I have heard adcoms may check that students who have taken AP courses also report taking the AP exams, and those who get A’s in HS AP classes but score 2-3s on the AP exams may raise a red flag about grade inflation at that particular HS. But listing a lot of 5’s on AP exams must look as good to an adcom as seeing other outstanding awards and honors.</p>
