Chedva:

I do not know of high school transcripts that list AP scores--there may be, but AP scores are received in July, well after final grades have been computed. I realize that at SOME schools, AP scores are incorporated into the final grade, but these are a minority of schools. I know for certain that our school does not list AP scores.

I believe that only some colleges ask for AP scores. And if they ask, they must certainly take them into consideration--otherwise why even ask for them? I'd be extremely surprised if the 20 AP scores (15 5s and 5 4s, 8 of those in his junior year) that a friend of my S received played no role in his admission.
