Where did you list your AP Scores? The common app nor the supplement leave a space for AP Testing Scores?

do you have to list the ap scores? i didnt list them on any apps. i thought that as long as you sent them from the college board that they'd receive them...

by the way, read my essay please, i really need help- it's posted under: controversial/risky essay- is it too sexual?

I didn't list my AP scores on the Amherst app, because they didn't ask, which means they probably don't care. My school includes AP scores on the transcript, however, so the Amherst adcom will find them there if they happen to be interested. I wouldn't worry about it much either way.

I listed them in the "academic awards" section of the common app. You can also do it in the "additional information" section of the common app.

Amherst does not take ANY AP scores for credit, so naturally they don't ask for them. I would say, unless you got 5's on all of them, to just leave them out since they will have no impact on your undergrad experience at Amherst anyway (if you do get in, that is.)

I didn't put them anywhere on the CA or supplement.

i didn't put scores down, just "ap scholar with distinction" under academic awards.
