<p>I wanted to send two AP scores and was wondering if it is too late to do so? I said on my application that I took two and said what I got, but I know they need the official scores sent.</p>
<p>AP scores are self reported on applications, you usually send them in after you are accepted.</p>
<p>You do not have the submit the score report to prove you actually got those scores?</p>
<p>Well, if you haven’t noticed, there is no way to send your scores on the collegeboard website. You have to call their automated number, and when you do, you’ll only be asked for one college and there is some extra fee for additional schools (that’s for if you’re in a dual enrollment program or something like that). </p>
<p>On your apps, they just want you to self-report and they trust that you won’t lie. I guess it’s because AP scores really aren’t that important. Unlike SAT IIs where your score might indicate you level of ability in a subject, AP tests are more like standardized placement exams for college. I’m not sure if you knew this, but a 5 can sometimes mean that you only got around 65% of the material correct (which explains why most schools won’t give you credit for anything lower than a 4). </p>
<p>Bottom Line: No, you don’t need to send official reports until after you have been accepted so that you can get college credit.</p>
<p>Okay, that makes sense. I was just wondering because the new NYU policy allows you to send an SAT and two AP scores, so I was just making sure that I didn’t have to have an “official” score report sent. Thanks a lot</p>
<p>I dont think the previous people understood why you wanted to send an official report. I’m aware that NYU allows you to use AP scores as part of their tests like SAT/ACT so they might want an official report. But like benellis said you can get a 65% and still get a 5 so it might not be the best representation. I would call NYU and see what they say.</p>
