<p>Does anyone know if sending AP scores below a 3 is required? Has anyone not sent the scores and not had any problems?</p>

<p>AP scores are self reported on applications. You dont actually SEND colleges the scores until youre trying to get credit for the classes. So, sending scores below a 3 is not required when youre applying.</p>

<p>can’t you cancel those scores? (i may be mistaken, but that’s why my brother seemed to hint at.)</p>

<p>what if I reported it on the application but now decided not to send the score? Would not sending it jeopardize my admission?</p>

<p>You’re never required to send AP score reports.</p>

<p>That’s what everyone says but then on tritonlink it says this:</p>

<p>The following must be received by the deadline:</p>

<pre><code>* Official high school transcripts

  • AP/IB test results (sent directly from testing agency)
  • College transcripts (including Spring 2008 grades)
    </code></pre>

<p>If you want credit for them you need to submit them. They’re optional tests - your school can’t force you to send the scores.</p>

<p>Hmm thanks for the responses. Hopefully you’re right.</p>

<p>the AP agency , collegeboard will send all AP scores. So that means if you wrote down UCSD on your AP Exam section of “Send Scores To:” this year, it will send all the AP scores it has on your file.</p>

<p>Basically it works the same way at the SATs , all scores are sent.</p>

<p>It won’t affect your admissions in any way if you earn a score of 2 or 1 on an AP test. You just won’t get credit.</p>
