So I’m applying to colleges through QuestBridge, and in order to report scores, it requires a score report be uploaded. The score reports for AP from college board include all the tests I’ve taken, and it doesn’t let you choose. I think the only thing I can do is cancel. I can’t “withold” because there’s no college to send them to for the QuestBridge App. So my question is should I cancel the two scores I’m unhappy with, AP World and Lang (scores of 3)? I’m going to be applying to schools like Princeton and MIT, so I think that it’s better to cancel since I got an A in the classes; why give them a reason to reject? But I want to know if people think those scores will help me, or if there’s any way to hide them without cancelling. Also, the deadline for QB is Sep 29, do you think the request will go through in time?
No score => an admission reader may assume that it is lower than 3.
But they don’t know that, and I got an A. Do you recommend not cancelling then?
But they may assume that if AP appears on the transcript. This is not a court of law where they have to prove anything. Plenty of people get a 2 on the exam and an A in the class. I personally wouldn’t cancel.
You’re obviously aiming for high reach schools, which is fine. But if you can cancel the score and end up at your state flagship, you can’t get that score back, even though they might very well give you credit for a 3.
