I did bad on my two APs

Hi, so I did bad on two of my APs, which I knew that I wouldn't do as well on. (2s on AP spanish lang and AP lang). I got A's on both classes, but i just didn't do well on these tests. I plan to major in biology in college, but I'm just wondering if these would affect my chances of getting into UCs. Here are my other stats:
1. 1990 sat 1 score
2. 770 math IIC
3. 650 chem
4. bio sat- im going to take it
5. 3.92 GPA
6. worked in college lab
7. 4 years varsity cross country and 2 years track
8. 4 years key club

I don't think so.

Maybe someone can chime in here, but when Collegeboard sends SAT and SATII scores, are the AP scores on there, too? I thought the AP Scores are sent in July after senior year if you indicate a final school on a senior year AP test.

If you knew you would do bad then why did you take those exams?
Sorry if that came out kind of *****y, it just doesn't make sense to me.
Also, I think you can choose not to report AP grades, right?

I don't know about the OP, but some schools require kids to take the test (my kids' school did.)

AP scores are not mailed with SAT scores.
AP scores are only mailed when you ask them to, specified at AP administration time.
You self report AP test scores. (My school district also staples them to transcripts)

Yeah, some AP's I took I had no interest in and just made sure I had an A in the class, without really studying for the exam. When I took the test (payed for by school), I didn't send the scores to any college, and I ended up getting a 2 on one and a 4 on the other

OP.... fireshark has verified what I first thought. you have no worries. Your schools will not see your AP scores during the app process; AP Scores aren't sent with SAT scores.
