are colleges notified of ap scores?

<p>maybe i'm forgetting something obvious (i'm a little zonked after converting labor day weekend to college app weekend), but i believe we can't send AP scores to colleges, so is there way that colleges are notified of our scores?</p>

<p>Nope, but keep asking those questions.</p>

<p>^^??</p>

<p>Yes, you can send AP scores to colleges. The phone number for ordering score reports is given on the College Board website:</p>

<p>[AP</a> Scores ?AP Test Scores](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>View Your AP Scores – AP Students | College Board)</p>

<p>If you are currently a high school senior, you can self-report your past AP scores - and any AP Scholar awards that you have received - on college applications. If you are taking more AP classes this year, you can designate a college when you fill out your exam booklet next May and a cumulative score report with all of your test scores (2010 and previous years) will automatically be sent to that college in July.</p>

<p>I can understand your confusion. This was a response to another question. Of course you can send your scores to colleges. Sorry about the confusion.</p>

<p>Isn’t that the point of taking AP exams???</p>

<p>there’s no reporting service like with the sat, correct?</p>

<p>when you say “self-report”, do you mean i simply make a note of it on my application? if that’s right, where would i do that?</p>

<p>sorry if these yield obvious answers!</p>

<p>And on the common app there’s a section for reporting up to 9 AP tests… its on the app.</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>anyone have an idea for where to list scores on non “common app” apps?</p>

<p>On the back of the multiple choice packet, there’s a place to put one college you want your scores to go to. If you want any more colleges to get your scores, it’s $15 per school.</p>

<p>This might be a stupid question, but if I ask College Board to send my AP scores, will CB send the scores to the admissions offices of the colleges I’m applying to, or to the academic offices?</p>

<p>I’m a senior and want my scores to go the the admissions offices, but I know that matriculating students want their AP scores to go to the office that will assign academic credit.</p>

<p>Ok, we know you have to send your SAT scores to each college you are applying to from the college board at $9.50 each. Is self reporting for the APs good enough, or do you have to pay $15 for each college to receive this report also? That starts to get very expensive!! Of course I understand that the college you decide to attend will need the actual report from the college board for credit.</p>

<p>I can’t help but feel that the College Board is one big SCAM!</p>

<p>^The College Board is a business, and they hold the monopoly on AP testing, so they set the price. You may put a college on your AP exams, but sending AP scores to additional colleges cost $15 each. However, your transcript may also include these scores, and it may be enough without having to pay to send them score reports. However, the official score report may be requested if your school wants an official report. I guess it all just depends on what school you’re sending scores to and what their policies are on this sort of thing.</p>

<p>yes the CB will send the scores but most likely the school will want you to resend them to verify it.</p>

<p>“I can’t help but feel that the College Board is one big SCAM!”</p>

<p>True but CB actually saves you alot of money when you factor in that you only pay 80$ to replace a college level class. Not to mention the fact that you’ll graduate faster than all of your peers. If you plan it right, you could graduate college in 2 years with a BA.</p>

<p>Can anyone please answer this? I want to know too.</p>

<p>All scores sent to one college go to the same “place,” whether it’s a registrar, admissions, office, etc. They are then recorded and are then distributed as appropriate. As each college has a different organizational structure, it would be difficult for anyone outside of the college to figure out who should receive what.</p>
