What will colleges like duke, brown, Upenn etc. think when they see I don’t have an ap score down for comp sci

AP scores carry little to no weight in the admissions process; they are primarily used for credit and/or placement. Having said that, if you don’t self report the score and the class appears on your transcript, colleges may assume that:
• Financial hardship prevented you from taking the exam
• You were not motivated enough to take the exam
• You took the exam and performed poorly (1 or 2)
The first one will not affect your application; the last 2 may raise an eyebrow. AO’s can, and have, contacted GC’s to explain why there are no AP scores reported on the application.
