colleges' policy for sending scores

No college requires AP scores to determine admission. There are a few, e.g., NYU, where you can choose to submit AP scores sent by College Board in lieu of sending other tests (SAT, ACT, and subject tests). Most colleges do not use AP scorers for admission. However, a number of high ranked colleges will consider them, along with everything else, if provided, but they do not carry the wieght of other test scores.
