<p>I have taken 8 AP exams (Chem, Bio, Calc AB/BC, Physics B, World Hist, Env.Sc, English Lan). I have scored mostly 5's except for some. I am applying for 7 or 8 colleges. Can anyone tell me by sending AP scores, would it help my chances of getting any merit aid etc. Thanks</p>
<p>That would be pretty pricey, and it’s not expected. I don’t even know if they would look at the score reports. BUT, on applications, there is often a place to list your AP Scores (there is on the commonapp). THIS will definitely be looked at and won’t cost you a cent. </p>
<p>Though of course, in the long run, AP Scores count less than SAT / Subject Tests.</p>

<p>Nope, please refrain from doing that (unless it’s recommended by the college or something of course). My impression is that when collgeboard forwards your score report to a college, the score report goes to some department that deals specifically with admitted/enrolled students to be used for advising/course credit record, not to the admissions office. In other words, AP score reports may not even reach the person in charge of reading your application.</p>
<p>Great tips and suggestions folks. I will not send it then.</p>
