Not at all, you worked for that AP credit and you deserve it. I have AP credit for my English class. My school also has a thing with certain pre-reqs (bio, chem and algebra) you dont have to take it at the college if you recieved an A in it in highschool - with this you dont get credits on your transcript for the class, but you are waived from it, which is nice Im able to bypass alot of work and go right to A&P

No Way! You earned those credits! They are free and will get you there that much faster.

my AP exam grades were on my HS transcript, but thats how my school handled Ap courses, I would check with your HS guidance office, Im sure they will let you know how to get the grades to the school

I would use them if you are allowed to. Isnt that the point of taking AP classes?

When I went to the information meeting for the programs at my school they said they would not take AP credits , the reason being is because you do not recieve a grade for them. You dont get an A,B, C, you get a point score that gives you a certain college credit.

Why take them again? Now if you end up with a less then ideal GPA you could retake them as they will surely result in an A for you and pad your GPA, but if you took that many AP courses in HS you should get A's w/o issue in college
