<p>“Does Harvard consider non-required test results, such as Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, Abitur, or GCE A-levels?
Yes. We value any information that helps us form a complete picture of an applicant’s academic interests and strengths.”</p>

<p>I think the answer is that some or most consider AP scores, some might not. Wrt the op, if others self-report their 5’s and you choose not to self-report a 3, it would probably help them some - which hurts you.</p>
