It’s not required that you report AP scores at all. If you do report, you can report selectively. Certainly report the 4s and, if you are applying to less selective schools, report the 3s as well. Some schools give academic credit for a 3 which means they consider it ‘good enough.’ Others only for 4s or 5s - in which case a 3 isn’t going to mean anything to them. Leave the 2s off.

Obviously, if you are saying you want to be a bio major and your 3 is in AP bio, you should give this further thought too. But if it’s just one more subject, it won’t hurt or help.
