Guys, I am applying RD to MIT, can I selectively report AP scores? I know that MIT asked people to report certain AP scores when they noticed someone took an AP class but didn’t report the score. However, I am an international student with a completely different school system, I never took an AP class, but I just decided to self-study on the side and take some AP exams for fun. Do I still have to report all of them?

Without looking it up, it seems like they’ve rejected more this year (compared to past years) rather than deferring.
