Do colleges care about AP scores?

Applying to College

<p>Hi, I was thinking about if colleges put very much weight on AP scores.
In this year I've got:
APUSH 4
AP Bio 5
AP Physics B 5
Spanish 4AP 5</p>

<p>Is it advisable to report all your scores or just the ones you got a 5 on?</p>

<p>All your scores...colleges don't put that much weight on APs unless you've taken like 9 or 10 by Junior year. </p>

<p>Colleges don't like to be tricked :)</p>

3

<p>Alright, in your case report all of them. 4 is NOT bad.</p>

4

<p>Yeah, putting a 4 looks better than leaving it out.</p>

<p>@ azngod1992...9 or 10? and what do you mean by tricked?</p>

<p>Anyway, AP tests help colleges judge whether you actually know the material or are just a brownnoser and gets a through hard work. If your grades are up to par, then an AP test just reinforces your mastery of the material.</p>

<p>well I'm sure colleges will be impressed if you made 5s on 10 AP tests by Junior year. </p>

<p>Tricked - as in when you send your AP grades after you been accepted (not that many colleges look at 'em). If they ever compare your self-reported AP grades and actual CollegeBoard AP grades, and they find a discrepancy, they might get ****ed.</p>

<p>The Common Application this year will include lots of spaces for self-reporting AP scores. Some colleges have long asked for AP scores as part of the application process. </p>

<p>Do most people send the official report after they have been accepted? Or do some people send the official report as part of the application?</p>
