I just want to make this clear:
If I royally screw up on an AP exam, If I don’t send my colleges the scores, they have no way of finding out what I got on the exam.
Does anyone know if these schools require an AP transcript?
Yale
Northeastern
UPenn
Cornell
SUNY Bing & Geneseo
<p>They require you to fill in the scores on the application, that's all. My sister didn't do well on AP Chem and still got into HYP. Which one did you mess up on?</p>
<p>Yeah I got a 2 on Ap Euro should I cancel the score or just keep it to show improvement with my 4/5 on APUSH?</p>
<p>But if I take the APUSH exam this May and cancel my score before it's reported to me, how do I acknowledge this on my application?</p>
<p>Is it mandatory to fill in AP scores?</p>
<p>I never sent my AP transcript to any school until after I was enrolled and they used it for placement. Honestly, they won't know. They may wonder why you apparently don't have a score when you took the AP class last year, but they probably wouldn't pursue it. </p>
<p>Also, you can't cancel a score once you have the score. You can, if you want, pay a fee to collegeboard (per exam, per school) to withhold a score when you send a report.</p>
<p>on the college app, most times it say optional for you to put the scores. So I would only put the scores I want them to know about. When you send the official score, i dont think it'll matter.</p>
<p>Plenty of my classmates never even take the exams...if asked why they say they were sick. Why don't you just email a few admissions offices (after the May rush) and ask about it?</p>
<p>Undecided is right. It is totally your choice as to whether or not you want to release your Ap scores. The best thing is to wait to see where you have been accepted. </p>
<p>Most selective schools will not give your credit or placement for anything under a 4/5. They are also beginning to limit the amount of AP creidts they give because they are finding that many courses do not cover a subject with the same amount of depth and breadth that an intro course at their school would cover.</p>
<p>The important thing is to make sure that you do well in the class because that is important.</p>
<p>Cornell uses the Common App which doesn't even ask for AP scores. If you want to self-report them, put it in the Additional Info section. That's what I did for my US History (4) and Chem (5) and I didn't send an AP transcript.</p>
<p>I'll be sending one this summer along with my new scores for Calc BC, Bio, and Physics C which I'm taking in May.</p>
<p>Before you withhold AP scores to a college, make sure your high school does not report them on your transcript. Your high school will have all your AP scores, because they automatically sent to your high school unless you cancel the score. Even if you cancel, your high school is notified that you cancelled your score.</p>
<p>oh alright. </p>
<p>Im listening to that song by Gwen stefani right now haha.</p>
<p>If you feel like your knowledge on the subject was good and your AP score was worse than it should've been you can consider taking the SATII and seeing how you score. For example, I got a 3 on AP Chem (our teacher had gone on maternity leave during the second half of the year) but got 700+ on the SATII to make up for it.</p>
