<p>Sorry, what is self report exactly? Does self report= just telling them on your application?</p>
<p>^Yes. There will be a place where you can list your AP grades</p>
<p>From byubound:
“Most colleges only care about how challenging your classes are and how well you do in those classes. Most colleges do not care about your AP grades, self-studied or not. After you’ve been accepted to a college, they take your AP grades and turn them into credits. That is basically the extent of AP scores with colleges: giving out credit.”</p>
<p>Just quoting you (not singling you out per say) since your post clearly states that colleges do not look at AP scores?
Besides you, who is going to BYU by your name, anyone got got into a [pretty good/alright] school with this philosophy? Or is this pretty much speculation on what colleges look toward AP tests.?</p>
<p>^AP grades are usually given very little weight, if any at all, in admissions decisions. In comparison to everything else that goes into an application to a university (GPA, SAT/ACT, ECs, etc.), AP grades don’t mean a whole lot. I applied to BYU last Fall and in the application I was only asked which AP classes I had taken and which ones I would be taking my senior year. I have been sending them my score reports for the past couple of years so they have my scores. However, they did not request for them to be included on the application. I have talked to many other students who have shared that they had the same experience when applying to other universities. So basically, AP classes are important because they show colleges that you are taking the most rigorous courses available to you. That is what makes AP important in the admissions process. The AP exam grades allow you to get college credit if you score high enough, but not much beyond that.</p>
