<p>Sorry if this is a dumb question, but i've asked my guidance counselor and she doesn't really know either. I know there is a place on the common app for them, but do you also have to formally report them to each school you apply to?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>I hope not.</p>
<p>only if you send it they see it. on the common app there is a section where you write AP scores. if you choose to leave it blank then colleges don’t see it. so if you don’t want them to see it, 1. don’t send the scores and 2. don’t write it in the application. i wrote my score of 1 in AP CS and 2 in AP Gov but i got into two top 25 schools. well i did get rejected by the rest of the 5 that were in the top 25 lol.</p>
<p>only if you send them (when you take the test)/self report them on your applications. lol</p>
<p>If you don’t want colleges to see your grades you can pay $10 to the college board to withold your scores.</p>
<p>One of the GC’s who was serving as a proctor for the UPUSH exam at my younger daughter’s high school told the AP class that they HAD to list a college to send the scores to. Many of the kids were able to see through the inherent riskiness of this action and proceeded to list schools like Montana State, Pensacola Christian, the Citadel…anyplace they had no intention of applying to.</p>
<p>My son’s school puts all SAT & ACT scores as well as AP test scores on official transcripts that are sent to colleges from the school.</p>
<p>tholt4 – So did ours. We told them to take those scores off – not that there was anything wrong with them – before they sent them to any of the schools my daughter applied to. They did, without any fuss at all. They apparently had been asked many times before to remove them.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not during the application stage. Self-reporting on the Common Application or similar college application forms is enough. </p>
<p>My son did send AP scores to one college of interest last year, and that college sent him a recruiting letter after receiving the scores.</p>
<p>Nope only if you send them, I’d opt out of sending
scores lower than a 3 =/</p>
<p>so if i just write the ones i want to send on the common app it is enough?</p>
