AP scores are weighed "1%" if at all, are typically optional, and don't even need to be submitted. <<

but is it possible that NOT reporting AP scores can hurt you more than reporting them will help you?
if a college sees that you took 8 AP courses but did not report any scores, could they assume you bombed them and downgrade your application? but if you share them, they nod and give you that 1% boost?
in other words the real value may not be the actual boost they give your application, but they protect you against the misguided assumption that you bombed the AP exams.
