How do colleges know your school's AP situation?

<p>I didn’t mean the fact that admission officers would be suspicious was a misconception. I meant the admission officers hold a misconception that no/low AP grades is an indicator of a lacking student.</p>

<p>However, I believe I will ask my counselor to explain the context of my AP scores. Wouldn’t she have some facts or figures as to % passing/taking tests? This seems like a good idea. Is it?</p>
