Hello all, I am applying to UC for the fall 2025 term. I am a poli sci major and self studied gov. Since I never took the class I ended up getting a 3. Would reporting this score hurt my chances?

UC’s accept AP scores of 3 or higher for credit but UC’s prefer to see a AP course grade over self studying for the exam.
Rule of thumb for competitive campuses is report 4’s and 5’s.
AP scores will not have much an impact but your call.
Sorry little bit of a clarification, the reason I didn’t take the actual ap class was because I am in the IB program at my school. They make us take IB HOA which satisfies our gov and econ credit. I wanted to have the gov score so I self studied.
I wouldn’t report a 3.
