<p>On the Harvard website, the university writes just "[A] score a 5 on a minimum of four College Board Advanced Placement tests," is necessary to qualify for advanced standing. At the same time, however, I know Harvard does not offer credit for every AP course. </p>
<p>Does a student just have to have 4 AP scores of 5 in any subject to qualify for advanced standing, or is it expected s/he has those 5s in classes Harvard considered worth crediting? I have searched the internet for an answer to this and cannot even find Harvard'd AP Credits Table anymore. </p>
<p>@WooTheDay - it appears the page detailing requirements for Advanced Standing is no longer available. However, from previous research, I can tell you that that some AP tests do not count, and there are combinations (such as two AP exams in the same language) where only one of the two can be used. </p>
<p>Thank you, @BldrDad ! Many other Ivies still have their AP Credit Tables up, so I’ll take a look there as well. I know they’re all different universities, but I’ll try to get a sense of which exams are acceptable across the boards from those for now. </p>

<p>@BldrDad, the link doesn’t work for me. Also, this doesn’t explicitly lay out how credits may be combined. I don’t remember the details, but as an example, you can get a credit for German, French, Italian, Spanish, and (with both APs) for Latin. That makes 5! You only need 4! Right? But they’re all foreign languages, and if I recall correctly, you can only have one full credit of foreign language.</p>
<p>As well, to reiterate, the fact that they removed this page suggests to me that its contents are no longer operative.</p>
<p>@notjoe - I’m sure at some point they will restore advanced standing information to the website. In the meantime, this should at least give the original poster an idea of the requirements.</p>
<p>You are correct, there were some limitations listed in the footnotes for the page, There were: maximum of one credit for Calculus, Physics, and English, and if two exams are taken in a single language, only one counts), but the scenario you present would have qualified for advanced standing under the previously published rules.</p>
