<p>Yes, that might be another issue. Marite’s point, which she expressed better than I, is that a Harvard student who has no interest in electing advanced standing has little interest in OFFICIALLY reporting AP scores to Harvard. Your point, with which I also agree, is that a student who took AP tests and got scores of 3 and 4–eligible for college credit at many colleges–would have no particular incentive to officially report those scores to Harvard, since they wouldn’t fit Harvard’s advanced standing rules at all. But I suspect that a substantial majority of students admitted to Harvard have some decent AP scores in hand before applying, whether they officially report those or not.</p>
