<p>What's the point of this really? All colleges will receive an official transcript of all the standardized tests so I don't understand why they want us to report our SAT and AP's... I mean anybody could just lie on the CommonApp, isn't it just a waste of time..</p>
<p>What is typical is for students to self-report only their AP scores there. AP scores are slightly considered, but aren’t considered enough to make it worth sending the official report. I guess you could do the same for SAT II scores for colleges that don’t require/recommend them. Obviously, if the college requires SAT/ACT/SAT II scores, you should send the official score reports. (I agree, though, that it’s kind of a weird section.)</p>
