[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question about APs.  If you take the AP course, do you have to report the AP score?  If you do not report it, do colleges assume it was a bad score?  I know kids who are getting As in AP classes and 1s and 2s on the tests.[/quote]

No, you don't have to report the AP test scores unless you want to receive college credit for them. Colleges will require certain scores to give you credit, but they don't have to see them for admissions.[/quote]

If I'm an AO at a TO school, isn't it a logical extension to assume an applicant applying TO performed poorly (for T25 schools, maybe less than 1500; for schools in the next bracket, maybe less than 1360)? Likewise, if you don't see the AP test scores (and yes, I understand that some don't take the test for every AP class they take), isn't it a logical extension that the applicant performed poorly (3 or below for some, 2 or below for the most rigorous, I guess)?[/quote]
NP. If a student applies TO, yes it is logical to assume the applicant performed poorly on SAT or ACT. However, the same is not the case for APs, as there are many reasons students don't take AP exams. Whether the AO takes the time to find out if the high school requires students to take the AP exam is doubtful. Most high schools do not have such a requirement.[/quote]
