<p>UPDATE:
We are the family whose son would have entered with sophomore standing due to too many AP credits…</p>
<p>Even though the financial aid officer at my son’s school said they would make up the lost Cal Grant with a UC grant, we decided not to chance it. </p>
<p>We discovered that College Board offers a service called Score Withholding,</p>
<p>“You may have one or more scores withheld from the report sent to the college you indicated on your answer sheet. To have a score withheld from the indicated college, AP Services must receive your written, signed request by mail or fax by June 15 accompanied by a $10 fee per score, per college.”
[AP</a> Scores - AP Scores & Reporting Services](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>View Your AP Scores – AP Students | College Board)</p>
<p>So we calculated how many test scores we had to withhold in order for him to enter college with freshman standing (I think we withheld scores from 4 or 5 tests). I just checked his Cal Grant Award Detail and it does say he has 4 more years remaining eligibility. </p>
<p>According to College Board, “You may later release the score to that college by sending AP Services a signed written request.”</p>
