Hello! I got a 5 on my APUSH Exam but I didn't put that score on my common application because I thought Brown wanted the official AP score transcript on November 1st and it wouldn't be delivered on time. Do you think I should order it now and send it in even though I didn't put that on my application or just forget about it.
I'm relatively certain that Brown doesn't use AP scores as an evaluation, rather, they're reported for the sake of determining potential placement credit if/when accepted.
You should have self-reported your AP score on your application. There's no need to spend the money to send the report to Brown -- you send the report once you know what college you are going to. You might want to send an email to Brown, or call them, or figure out if there is some way to amend your Common Ap.
If you want them to see what you got, the safest thing to do is probably just follow the directions on this website AP Scores - AP Scores & Reporting Services and rush your scores. It may not have any impact on their decision, but it's worth the money if you don't want to take a risk.
The AP score report is sent by an automated phone service so there is no way to determine exactly where the report is being sent. Most AP reports are sent to the Registrars office (for obvious reasons) NOT admissions so you need to follow up and make sure the report ends up in the file at admissions.
