<p>I'm still a junior, but is it possible to send only certain ap scores and not all?? Such as, ones with 4 or 5??</p>
<p>You do not send an official AP score report until you have been accepted and have decided to attend.</p>
<p>However, you do need to indicate your AP scores on the common application when you apply. If the adcoms see that you’ve only entered a few high scores but have taken many more AP classes, they’ll probably assume it’s because you did poorly and tried to hide it. It’s always a better idea to just be honest - a few low scores won’t kill you, especially if you have 4s and 5s on other exams.</p>
<p>I believe its all or nothing (no Score Score-type of option), but you don’t have to send it in unless you want to get college credit, and at that point, even a 1 can’t hurt you very much.</p>
<p>wait… so, if I took ap euro class, but didn’t take the ap exam, they might think that I got a bad score on it?? As of now, I’m not planning on taking the euro exam even though I’m in an ap class…</p>
<p>Why would you take the class, but not the exam?</p>

<p>Personally I’m not a big fan of paying ~$80 to fail a test…</p>
<p>I took AP Spanish to complete my 4th year of the foreign language because there was no non-AP class past 3rd year. However, we were totally unprepared for the AP test (everyone who wasn’t a native speaker, who took the test from our class got a 1) and so i decided not to take it.</p>
<p>Hell, let the admissions office think what they’d like about the fact that I didn’t report an AP Spanish score… worst case senario they assume i got a 1, which is the score i probably would have recieved anyway.</p>
<p>Sure i probably could have–and should have–studied on my own to prepare myself so that i don’t have that hole in my app, but i didn’t… and to be honest i don’t regret not preparing for, and taking that AP test.</p>
<p>AP tests generally aren’t weighted to heavily in the application anyway, just trust your gut on whether or not you feel like you should take the test would be my advice. Failing doesn’t help you any, but if you think that by putting a bit of effort into studying for the exam that you might get a 3, it wont hurt you and you don’t have that void in you app.</p>
<p>Maybe you should try harder in the class so you don’t have to fail the test…while you don’t have to report your scores, having lots of fives definitely can be a help to your app in showing how well you handle college level course work.</p>
<p>Personally, I ended up with 26 credits from AP once I got to Cornell, and man, is it great to be one full semester ahead of everyone. I’ll be done with all of my sophomore level classes by the end of freshman year, without even taking 20+ credits.</p>
<p>think of it this way: if you get a 4 or a 5, you can place out of an intro class at cornell. an intro class is ~3-4 credits, depending on the topic/school. that’s $80 for 3-4 credits. normally it’s about $970 per credit. yeah. that’s a big difference.</p>
