AP test scores important admission factor?

suppose you’re aiming for ivies and you do well in the ap classes themselves, but get 4s on the ap test, will ivies use that against you?

<p>They are used more to help you than hurt you. I doubt 4's would be considered bad, but a 5 would def look better.</p>

<p>You are not required to submit AP scores; they are not part of the admissions process.</p>

<p>Won't they wonder why you didn't submit the scores? The assumption would then be that you either didn't take them or did poorly.</p>

<p>Yeah, but I think it would be considered okay if they thought you didn't take all of them, because really, people are taking 10+ AP classes these days and even the Ivies don't expect you to take every single one of those exams.</p>
