And most of the top Ivys only give you credit for a 5 and that’s on a subset of APs, some courses like AP Human Geo, AP Environ, AP Psych, or AP Physics 1/2 or AP World Hist, never count in Ivys. So you have to research which APs are eligible for course credit and what your score needs to be. It’s rarely a 4, mostly 5s that can get credit.
