<p>No, absolutely not. You self-report AP scores, so they don’t need to know. Looking at your good ECs and scores, I’d say you are definitely over-reacting. You have solid academics as well, and your legacy status is a hook. Your chances are pretty good, go for it.</p>

<p>And I love how you call yourself XY chromosome.</p>

<p>Thanks dood!</p>

<p>But if you do self-report, couldn’t someone just say they got all 5s???</p>

<p>The colleges have ways of checking if things don’t seem to match up. Moreover, when you get accepted, they may want your actual score reports. The people who lie and report all 5s, well, they could expect to be expelled.</p>

<p>I see. And if I don’t send them, will colleges be skeptical? By the way, can I choose which ones to send?</p>

6

<p>I’ve always wondered what colleges think if the AP class is listed on your transcript with a grade, but you don’t report the exam. Wouldn’t they just assume the worst?</p>

7

<p>How did you manage to get a 630 on the U.S. history sat ii, but get a 5 on the APUSH exam?</p>

8

<p>I honestly do not know…I expected to do better on the SAT II and worse on the exam (although I was kind of sick when taking the SAT II).</p>

<p>Also, idk how I got a 2 on calc and 800 on math (twice)…This will probably confuse colleges</p>

<p>Any other chances?</p>
