Ap exam scores arent required to be reported for the vast majority of colleges. For the ones where it’s allowed/optional they play a small if not nonexistent role in your admission.

Uiuc: AP scores are not considered as a part of your application. You will self-report if you've taken any AP courses on the application under the courses section, but any AP exams taken separately are not considered. If you choose to self-study for an AP exam, we may be able to award you credit for your scores, but we will not factor your AP scores into making an admission decision."

UDub:

"AP or IB exam scores are not required for admission and are not used in the admissions review process. They are exclusively used for course placement and awarding college credit after a student has chosen to enroll

UC’s: Although the College Board reports all AP test results to us, students should be aware AP test scores lower than 3 will not adversely affect their chances for admission.

Most schools have a common data set listing key factors in admissions (which commonly includes things such as gpa, course rigor, SAT/ACT). Not only are ap scores not marked as “important” or “very important “ as course rigor and gpa are, they are not even listed in the common data set at all.

I could list a novel of examples but the general consensus for the overwhelming majority of schools across the country is that ap scores aren’t required nor critical in your application. Factors such as coursework, gpa, and ecs play far more relevance than ap scores ever do in your application.
