<p>I’ve heard conflicting reports on whether or not college admissions people see your AP scores. I would like them to see mine because I self-studied Biology in 10th grade after getting a B+ in honors biology and I got a 5 on the test. I’m planning on self studying for Psychology and Physics B as well and I think I have a good chance of getting 5s on those. My GPA is only going to end up being about 3.8 and I want to play up my ability to teach myself things (I taught myself the calculus AB curriculum but I didn’t bother to take the test since I’m going to take BC in 11th grade and I taught myself a lot of computer programming at a very young age). </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>well, if you’re going to be using the common app, they now have a new section where you can put your AP scores</p>
<p>A lot of foreign schools, especially in the UK, will care more about AP scores than GPA. I don’t think they’re all that significant over here, though, even when the admissions people do see them.</p>
<p>It’s not really new, Hamman. Normally you put AP scores in the awards/honors section.</p>
<p>Yes, you self-report your APs on your applications and only send them in officially when you matriculate.</p>
<p>They see your scores, but they don’t have much of an effect, unless your exam grade is very different from your course grade. i.e. (if you get a 70 in an AP class, and then get a 5, or if you get a 100 in an AP class, but a 2 on the exam)</p>
