This is a great question that gets posed quite often. AP scores for all colleges are not required. You may self report your scores on your applications, but again not required. In May of your senior year when you take your AP exam(s) you will write down the name of the college you are attending-by then you will know since by May 1st most colleges need your notification of acceptance. At this juncture College Board will send your scores to that particular school in July/August for them to possibly give you college credit.

The self report section of an application is in place for a college to see how well you do with a college level course end of the year exam. Most colleges really look at your grade for the course overall. The main purpose of the AP exam score is for determining college credit.

This is a rough/brief overview, hope it answered your question. So basically the admissions rep at UVa was correct you do not need to send them.
