Not sure where you read that. Unless a student opts for Advanced Standing (graduating in less than 4 years) Harvard DOES NOT give outright credit for any AP course except AP Foreign Language – scoring a 5 on an AP Foreign Language test exempts a student from Harvard’s FL graduation requirement. Other AP courses can be used for placement in higher level courses.
