[quote=Anonymous]see below from college confidential. MIT Chris is Chris Peterson. IYKYK

summary - they updated their app in fall 2022 to clearly state AP rules. they wouldn't do that if they weren't getting people not submitting scores on the regular.  also "AP programs" is doing some lifting here. my kids are in schools with no AP program, they do take test on their own. I wouldnt hesitate NOT submitting.

I missed this. This year, we updated the application to clearly (well, we thought it was clear, though maybe we need to make it even clearer somehow) instruct applicants to submit all scores for any AP/IB/etc tests they took. The application read:

“For students in Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate programs, you should list any exams you have taken or plan to take in the table below. If you have taken other standardized exams, you may list them in the following question.”

cc @skieurope so you’re up to date on latest practices. We also say on the application to tell us whether or not you took the test next to any AP class on the self-reported coursework. But yes, if you took an AP test, you should send us the score. We do include a section where you can explain any extenuating circumstances relative to your AP exam score being lower than you might have liked.[/quote]
