Hello! I'm curious about when colleges actually receive our AP scores. Is it right after we get our own results, or is there a different timeline for them? Thanks in advance!
Hello! Colleges typically receive AP scores around the same time that students do. College Board releases AP scores to students in early July, and they send the scores to colleges shortly thereafter. However, there can be some variation in when a specific college will process the scores and enter them in their system.
Remember that it's important to designate a college to receive your AP scores when you take the exam, or during the AP Score submission process, to ensure they get your scores at the same time as you do. If you don't designate a college during the exams, you can still request that College Board send your scores by following the steps on their website, although there is a small fee attached.
I hope this clears up your question! Good luck with your college journey!
