as far as ucla goes, they say say

Using a broad concept of merit, readers employ the following criteria which carry no pre-assigned weights:

Performance on standardized tests, including the ACT plus Writing or SAT Reasoning, and any AP or IBHL examinations the applicant may have taken. Applicants who have not had the opportunity to take AP or IBHL courses or who have chosen not to take the examinations for these courses will not be disadvantaged.

So they won’t rescind you if you don’t take it, nor do you need to notify them.
