since ap scores are not designed to be used for college admissions, the lack of the scores cannot hurt you. However, 5’s in tough AP classes (Euro Hist, Chem, Physics, Bio, Lit, Calc) could definitely help at all colleges.

I disagree with afan – I would not want the GC spending time and valuable commenting on the ap scores; IMO, teacher/GC recs, like essays, should not spend time on stuff that is listed elsewhere on the app, unless to explain away a poor score. Any adcom will mentally use the scores how s/he sees fit.
