From UC Berkeley:
AP courses considered to be more rigorous and challenging than regular university preparatory courses. Students who enroll in AP courses (when available) and perform well in them tend to be regarded as more competitive. Exam scores of 3 or better are favorable and add to the strength of the admissions application; forgoing the AP tests or scoring below 3 on the tests is regarded as neutral.

I thought AP’s scores don’t affect admission…
