Sending AP Score?

Hey all,

I have a question about sending AP scores. Is it worth paying the $15 per school to send them? ^^^^fck ^^^^the ^^^^college ^^^^board ^^^^and ^^^^these ^^^^bullsht ^^^^prices.

When is it beneficial to officially send them thru the collegeboard?

If I just listed my scores on the commonapp will colleges see this?

I obviously want to increase my chances of getting in, but will send them thru the collegeboard as opposed to just listing them on my commonapp really going to make a difference?
