Self report bad AP/IB score

Applying to College
1

Hello fellow CCers,

I am currently finishing up my application to some top 30 liberal arts colleges. In the common app I have to option to self-report AP/IB scores. I have heard that AP/IB scores don’t matter much in admission, and some people have said to submit the bad scores and others have also said not to submit them. I have 4 AP scores with 2 of them as 3’s and 2 of them as 2’s and a 4 in my IB class.

My question is, should I self report or not? I am generally applying to a lot of the patriot league schools, and I am unsure if I should self report or not.

Thank you.

Do not self report anything below a 4 on the AP or 5 on IB.

its totally up to you to decide which scores you would like to report to colleges. I personally wouldnt reprort anything lower then a 4 if I was appyling to some of the top 30 liberal schools. It just depeds on where your appyling and how comfortable you are with your scores.

@gardenstategal has it. I would definitely not report the 2s and probably not the 3s.

Thank you all for your input. I will leave the scores off.
