<p>On the Common Application there is a space where you can self-report AP scores. Though you do not have to list them there, it would look slightly strange if the course appeared on your transcript, but you did not report the score.</p>
<p>And I agree: AP scores are an iffy means of measuring an applicant’s abilities. But colleges chose to look at them, so what can you do? I don’t, however, think they are as important as the SAT Reasoning Test or even SAT Subject Tests.</p>
