<p>Do AP scores affect your chance to prestigious colleges and universities? I got a really bad score for my AP Government test during my sophmore year… :(</p>
<p>You don’t send your AP scores when you apply to colleges…you can self-report your scores on the Common App if you want to, but you don’t have to. They’re not really used in admissions. </p>
<p>Yeah, it won’t matter too much. Opt out of sending if they are bad, since you can’t really gain anything if in any circumstances if you get a 2 or something. 3, rarely,</p>
<p>Some international universities do require a certain number of high scoring APs, but other than that, it won’t hurt you.</p>
