<p>ok now everyone knows you can submit your ap scores to colleges? but will bad scores hurt you? or can you choose which scores you want them to see in your app?</p>
<p>You can choose which scores to send, and you can send them at all. But it would be in your best interest to send them or report them (many colleges ask you to self-report your scores), because if you don't, it seems that you might have done very poorly.</p>
<p>I've heard "AP scores can only help you, not hurt you." Almost all the people I've seen on the Stanford thread got at least one or two 4's, maybe a three. Just don't get a 2 or a 1 and try to avoid 3's. Colleges might start doubting the rigor of your class and think that your GPA is artificially high.</p>
<p>so of all my ap scores, do they see them all?</p>
<p>i dont have any 1's or 2's but i do have a couple 3's a couple 4's and a couple 5's</p>
<p>bump..........</p>
<p>Depends on where you're applying. I wouldn't send your 3s to Ivies.</p>
<p>i would send all of them, because they start to think you did terribly (worse than 3s) if don't</p>
<p>It also depends on what the scores are in. If you got a B in Calc BC and a 3, well ok. If you got a 3 on English Lit, or in a class you got an A in, you're in trouble.</p>
<p>not that much though right? i got a 3 in physics B and i got an A in that class but that was my first AP test ever...</p>
<p>The thing is that your grade on the test should be reflective of the quality of work you did in the class. The class is supposed to be just as hard as the test. Thus, when you do well in the class but not so well on the test, it implies that your class was easy, and that your A isn't as hard earned as someone else's from another school.</p>
<p>crap. its possible to hold back certain scores right? and just report the good ones?</p>
<p>You can hold certain scores but it costs 10 dollars per course per college, if i recall correctly...if you do that make sure its not on your transcript or you're just wasting cash.</p>
