I took AP Comp Sci AB online last year (not my best idea) and I scored only a 3 on the exam. Although this is a passing score, will reporting this score hurt my chances at schools since Computer Science is my intended major? I’ve already submitted this to 3 schools for early admissions.

I don’t think so. However, the school may not award you any credits.
@4kidsdad All of my early schools are EA so I won’t have a binding issue. Thank you though!
If you have a choice (which you may not—check carefully), you shouldn’t report it. If you were planning to major in something other than CS, it might be okay, but not as a prospective CS major.
@Planner Would they assume that I failed the exam instead?
I doubt it—just because you took AP CS doesn’t mean you had to take the AP test. Plenty of people take AP courses and don’t take the tests (though often they’re “forced” to by high school regulations). If they ask you, though, you’d have to report it.
@Planner Thank you!
