Should dd send AP scores as part of the college process?

She has a 3 and a 5. If the application deadline has passed is it too late to send? I had assumed we send after she’s accepted but am now doubting that decision. Thanks!

Do not send scores as part of the application process. Students can self-report the scores (for example, on the Common App). Wait until she’s decided where to attend, and then send the scores.

Schools vary on how they use them - some will give students credit, others will use them for placement.

You assumed correctly. The official report only needs to be sent to the college she will be attending. If she self-reported the scores on the app, that’s all she needed to do. If she did not list them on the app. she can send an update to the college(s) using the procedure that each college states.
