<p>Oh, I agree. The story illustrates, though, how averages can be skewed. In order to reach an average of 3.7 APs per student, up to six students would have to be admitted without APs. But, I also suspect that 1. students who got only 3s and 4s. did not submit their scores to Harvard. 2. students who were confident that they would not want Advanced Standing did not submit their scores. This would hold as well for Harvard’s peer institutions.
Finally, there is little point in submitting scores to LACs that do no grant Advanced Standing and limit the number of credits to 2, unless it is to place out of certain courses.</p>
