Is there a trend towards more AP classes? Someone said a student entering Harvard has an average of 8 AP classes. Which is trending up. If you are taking 10 AP classes, do you need a SAT score?
Also, this same source said Harvard looks if you are taking the optimal challenging courses available. ie, if you are at a private academic and there are 20 AP courses available and you take 2, not so challenging. If you are at some suburban high school in hicktown and there are no AP courses and you take a couple as self study, then yay you. But more and more are available that takes out the need for another standardized score.
