<p>Everything that is said here seems to be accurate. I believe the only way the AP courses are evaluated during the application process is that students are told to take the most rigourous curriculum that their HS has to offer. Therefore, if students are taking AP level courses the AdComs will understand the capability of those students. The actual scores on the exams really are not taken into account for admissions, as many students receive their scores after they have already made decisions.</p>
