[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you can absolutely report AP scores on the common app testing section for admissions purposes. They matter. [/quote]

+1 Scores matter. CCO at the private has repeated it with stronger and stronger language the past three fall-parent-session talks. There are former T20 AOs on staff at this private and they have been quite clear that 4s and 5s are great scores, should be reported on the common app as should 3s most of the time, and at the T20s the sores are differentiators v similar students that do not report any scores. The caveat is they said "from similar backgrounds" , implying they matter for UMC public and/or private schools. They likely do not matter much if low or unreported for underprivileged applicants or underresourced schools. DCUM loves to say they do not matter, DCUM is way out of date on this, advising as though it is 2019 when 1/3 not 2/3 of suburban public school grads had above 4.0weighted. Inflation went crazy in covid. AO's have to delineate somehow. [/quote]
