Boston University AP Scores

This might sound unnecessary, but I want to make sure. Every person and site says that you just self report the AP scores you want to send in when applying, and then send in an official report when committing. They say this is for all colleges. However, some places like BU vaguely say that they require official reports, but on another site say that they require them before matriculation. So for BU, do I have to send in an official report with my application?

Whatever “they” say, the school is the final source for requirements. If you are unsure, contact BU directly.

Fwiw, I see nothing on their admissions requirements page that discusses AP test scores.

I just submitted my official ACT score today but I was wondering the same thing because my AP scores didn’t show up on my BU common app. Did you submit your official AP Scores bc I really don’t want to waste money submitting unnecessary scores?
