Do u have to send an official score report to colleges when applying?
Thank you!

It depends on the school. Read each school’s website for the information.

SAT or ACT - Yes

AP - Unless AP exams are part of admission requirements, you only send the AP exam scores to you committed school for college credits.

@4kidsdad Some colleges allow self reporting of test scores. If admitted official results are required. Any deviation from the self report automatically rescinds the acceptance.

You self-report AP scores on the Common App, the scores you wish to report. If you’re admitted, later want course credit and the class qualifies (not all will, at all colleges,) then you send the official report.
