<p>If you've mentioned on your application that you will take AP exams this coming May
but you end up not taking some of them, could that decrease you chances if you were waitlisted? Or would the colleges that accepted you ask for those scores?</p>
<p>The AP results do not come out until just about the time you are ready to start school in the fall. There are plenty of reasons to not take the exam: you are sick on exam day; you find out the college in question won’t give you credit or placement for that particular exam or for the score you expect; your check for the exam bounced; etc. etc.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about this one.</p>
