If you score a 3 for an ap, do you fill the results application?

If you get a 3 for ap human geography, would you fill the result in the common app? Feels like if it is 4 or 5, definitely fill in. But when it comes to 3, I have heard different opinions.

We didn’t send AP scores at all until the kid matriculated. Then we looked at what the schools gave for what scores….and submitted then.

Oh, thanks! That makes me feel more comfortable not showing scores. :slight_smile:

I guess I should add…I have no idea whether AP scores factor into admissions. But a 3 probably wouldn’t tilt the scale your way.

I can’t think of any benefit of reporting a 3 in the common app.

Our CC said inly report scores of 4 and 5. A 3 doesn’t add anything to an app.

Thanks so much for your replies!! I completely agree it will not add anything to the app. But would the ao think you might failed it if not put in a score? The other ap scores are 4 or 5s.

If you omit one, probably not. If you omit 5 scores, they may wonder

People always worry about this. But there are also students who don’t take the exam for one reason or another. So don’t sweat it.
