Does MIT require all AP scores to be submitted?

Don't want to submit a 3 that DC got in 10th grade while independently studying.

kid in my school got in with a 2 in AP Calculus, so I'm guessing you dont have to submit.

"Students should self-report scores for standardized exams they have taken or plan to take, such as Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, A-level, Baccalauréat, etc., on the Test scores section of the application."

"Should" is doing some heavy lifting here. My understanding from MITChris's posts over on College Confidential is that MIT wants to see all AP scores that you have. Boggles my mind that they can't see that "should" is different from "must" or "we require." In my opinion, "should" is vague and ambiguous, and accordingly, I would report what you wish.

That said, OP, I would just report the 3. Not worth worrying about.

It is not vague at all, it is an instruction, quite clearly "Students should self report scores" end of story. Report them.
There are similar wordings on Oxford and Cambridge websites. They actually contact the college board if they think scores may have been withheld and the consequences of doing that is no offer or a retraction of an offer.

So take your chances with MIT who may have similar policies.

you can cancel a score and college board will totally delete it
its not a murder or political investigation, there wont be subpoenaed records

There is no way in hell that a kid who got a 2 got into MIT

There is no way to get around it (not submitting) unless you lie.

If you proceed with their portal, you'll know this wording thing doesn't matter. You have to report everything you took because it asks you whether you took the AP test. You have to answer Yes if you did. Then the score reporting section pops up without no other way out.

If they aren’t all 5s why are you even applying?
