Can a failed AP test-taker have a chance at a top school?

<p>My understanding is that you are not even really supposed to send your scores until AFTER you have been admitted. At that point you submit your scores so you can credit or advanced placement in the school where you are attending. If you have taken AP classes as a junior and don't submit the scores, the schools you are applying to will not think it is weird. </p>

<p>However, some schools will ask for your scores on the application. It is up to you to decide if you want to add those or not. But I would never send official AP score reports to schools where I was applying, even if they were 5s. AP is not to be used for admission purposes.</p>
