<p>As the title suggests, I’ve been hearing two sides of the argument in view of reporting AP scores and their effect on admissions. Let’s say I took many AP classes and did well in them but performed at a mediocre level on the AP tests. If I reported several bad AP scores, that would raise a GPA discrepancy question. If I didn’t report them, they’d be suspicious. Am I screwed either way?</p>
<p>No, not really. </p>
<p>Many admissions officers are moving away from test scores as an indicator of much. </p>
<p>Starting with ACT/SAT their belief is “how much can one test on Saturday morning @ 8 AM tell us about if this person will fit in to our community?”</p>
<p>same goes with AP scores. </p>
<p>If you want… email an elite school’s admissions office and ask.</p>
