Should I send my AP scores?

<p>I applied EA—I'm wondering if I should send in my AP scores to show proficiency in the subjects that I have taken them in (I got 5s the three tests that I took: Calc BC, Bio, and Lit). I self-reported them on my CommonApp and I sent in SAT subject tests in Math II and Bio. Would my AP scores help at all? </p>

<p>Note: I know Harvard doesn't accept AP credit—I'm just wanting to know if sending AP scores will give me any sort of competitive edge. </p>

<p>You self reported them. That’s all you should do. Nobody also sends them in because they don’t get routed to admissions even if you did. </p>

<p>To Falcon1’s point: The College Board automatically sends AP scores to a college’s registrar’s office so the AP scores can be added to your college record. The registrar’s office DOES NOT forward scores to Admissions, but holds them for your file upon matriculation. So, it’s a complete waste of your parents money to send an “Official AP Score Report” to a college that you are not matriculating to. That’s why EVERY Admissions office wants and accepts self-reported AP scores!</p>
